6.2.5 Cast-in-Place Solid Concrete Pedestal with Bolted Slip Base Connection<br />

In this option, a cast-in-place solid concrete pedestal would be poured projecting from the<br />

foundation with the tapered steel monopole placed over the pedestal projection and the two<br />

connected with bolts. Some longitudinal rebar would connect the solid concrete pedestal<br />

projection to the foundation. See Figure 6-6 <strong>for</strong> the setup of this connection.<br />

As with the previous option, one benefit to this connection would be that the annular base<br />

plate and anchor bolt connection would be eliminated. Another benefit to this connection is that<br />

the construction would be relatively easy because it’s all cast-in-place. One problem with this<br />

connection is that the connection may have less flexural strength because the rebar would be the<br />

only flexural rein<strong>for</strong>cement. And as with the other bolted slip connections, the bolt bearing may<br />

require an increase in monopole member thickness.<br />

Design strength considerations <strong>for</strong> this connection include, but are not limited to, the<br />

• Bolt shear strength<br />

• Bolt bearing strength (on steel monopole)<br />

• Bolt bearing strength (on cast-in-place solid concrete pedestal)<br />

• Fatigue (of bolts)<br />
