When a hand hole is speci

34、fied, the pole shall attain this load with the hand hole in compression and the cover removed. 10.2.2 Deflection The pole shall not exceed a maximum deflection of 15 percent of the length of the pole above the grade line when subjected to the maximum loading as calculated in clause 10.2.1, and as te

35、sted in accordance with test methods listed in section 12. 10.2.2.1Static Deflection Poles designed to support luminaires on arms should have a maximum static deflection (due to weight of arm and luminaire only) of 1% of the pole height above ground line. The slope at the top of the vertical support

36、 should not exceed 0.35 in (8.89 mm) as well. 10.2.2.2 Inspection Poles shall not have visible cracks once installed and loaded per requirements in clause 10.2. 10.2.3 Permanent Deflection The pole shall have no more than 1% permanent deflection for the loading value as calculated in clause 10.2.1.

37、This loading shall be applied for 5 minutes at 77o F (25o C) g114 4o F (1.5o C), with measurement being taken 5 minutes after unloading. ANSI C136.20-2012 Page 6 Copyright 2012 by National Electrical Manufacturers Association 10.2.4 Calculation Method The methods of calculating the forces and bendin

38、g moment acting on the pole systems shall be as described in AASHTO LTS. 11 BREAKAWAY SUPPO RT S Breakaway supports, when specified by the user, shall be designed to carry loads as provided in clause 10.2.1. Dynamic performance under automobile impact shall also be considered. Breakaway approval fro

39、m the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) can be accomplished through approved testing by an independent testing facility approved by the FHWA. The results shall meet or exceed the requirements described in AASHTO LTS. 12 POLE DEFLECTION MEASUREMENTS 12.1 General The test set-up is illustrated in

40、Figure 2c. There are three methods of measuring deflection on a loaded pole. These are illustrated on Figure 2a and Figure 2b. All three methods can be used simultaneously to allow comparison of independent sets of data. 12.2 Method I As shown in Figure 2a, a cord shall be taped to the base of the p

41、ole-at the ground line and the butt only. In the no-load state, the cord is lined up straight with the centerline of the pole. As the pole is loaded, the base moves and the cord shall be moved at the top of the pole to keep it straight with the base portion. True deflection of the pole shall be dire

42、ctly measured from the cord to the pole at the load point. This method automatically compensates for base movement. 12.3 Method II This method uses fixed reference points for measuring movement of the pole as the pole is loaded. As shown in Figure 2b, the points physically are three posts arranged v

43、ertically on the floor adjacent to the pole. They should not be connected to any load-bearing member of the test fixture. Their lateral distance from the pole is of no importance, but they should not be moved during any one test because their position relative to the length of the pole is important.

44、 The three posts shall be located, as follows: a) Butt b) Ground linevaries with length of the pole c) Load pointusually 12 in (305 mm) from the top of the pole Measurements are made from these posts to the centerline of the pole at each load level. There is movement of the pole base (ground line to

45、 butt) during loading. This movement shall be taken into account when determining the load/deflection characteristics of the pole. Merely subtracting the initial from the final measurement at post 3 (load point) gives a so-called apparent deflection, with no allowance for the movement of the base of

46、 the pole. This apparent deflection is too high a value and would not be the same on any two identical poles. The true deflection can be determined by taking a ratio of the base movement (ground line positive movement added to the butt movement in the negative direction) over the full length of the

47、pole, and subtracting this from the apparent deflection. ANSI C136.20-2012 Page 7 Copyright 2012 by National Electrical Manufacturers Association 12.4 Method III A cord shall be pulled over the centerline of the entire pole when pole is unloaded. As pole is loaded, any movement at the groundline or

48、butt should be recorded and deflections corrected to reflect the movement. The cord should not touch the pole at any time in order for movement readings to be accurately recorded. Pole deflections should be measured from the cord to pole centerline. ANSI C136.20-2012 Page 8 Copyright 2012 by Nationa
