(101.5 mm) outside diameter and three times forlarger outside diameters. The depth shall
8、be a minimum of 24in. (609.6 mm) plus an additional 3 in. (76.2 mm) for each 1-ft(305-mm) increase in the fence height over 4 ft (1.22 m) to amaximum total of 60 in. (1525 mm) for a fence height up to 20ft. (6.10 m).5.2 Dig or drill holes in the line of the fence in accordancewith 5.1. Forms are not
9、 necessary.5.3 Set posts in a vertical position, plumb and in line.Backfill concrete (2500 psi) (17.2 MPa) into the excavationand extend 2 in. (50 mm) above grade. An alternative methodis to stop footing 6 in. (152.4 mm) below grade to allow forcover with sod, black top, or other materials if the fo
10、otings arenot in an area subject to cathodic protection. In either case,crown the concrete at its top to shed water and slope aminimum of 2 in. (50.8 mm) away from the post.5.4 The use of mechanical devices for the setting of fenceposts is acceptable under this practice, provided the mechanicalstren
