Jan 2, 2004 · This 'depth to fixity' will increase your moment arm length. I think 3 drilled shaft diameters is a common design assumption. So, if you have a 15ft pole and an 18" drilled shaft....The moment arm from the light fixtures would be (15'+3*1.5') = 19.5ft. The moment arm from the pole loading would be a little larger too.

Wind Load on Light Poles: AASHTO vs NESC - Eng-Tips
Jun 27, 1999 · Typically, we wouldn't design light pole foundations on a DOT project. We'd take them from a standard sheet but these light poles are not the typical DOT arrangement. Usual foundation shaft would be 6 to 10 feet deep depending on soil, slope, groundwater elevation. I'm using AASHTO because that's the standard code for roadway work.
