    This document provides rough design calculations for the foundation of a 22m high light pole. It calculates the overturning moment, shear load, and required embedment depth for a proposed 1.5m diameter by 3m deep auger pile foundation based on wind loads on the pole and attached fixtures. The calculations show the proposed foundation design is adequate based on the assumptions made. A more detailed design is required from the design engineer using specific project data.
