Flagpole

This document provides the design calculations for a flagpole footing based on the International Building Code (IBC) and California Building Code (CBC). It analyzes both constrained and unrestrained footing options. Through an iterative process, it determines that an unrestrained 6-foot diameter footing with a depth of 30.55 feet is required to support a 100k lateral force at the top of a 62.11-foot tall flagpole based on a lateral soil bearing capacity of 0.2 ksf/ft.
