Description

Pre-stressed Cement concrete poles are widely used for supporting electricity supply lines throughout India. Its common observation that the poles fail under heavy wind as well as earthquakes. The response of the poles depends upon the strength of pole material, supporting soil, and depth of embedment of the pole. To economize the erection its general practice to erect the pole as the self-supporting pole. This paper investigates the behaviour of a prototype self-supporting electric pole for two different kinds of soil compaction material with respect to monotonic lateral load. Load versus displacement in loading and unloading is analysed for two different soil conditions. The geotechnical design considerations are suggested for the embedment of poles in soils.
