Figure 6-8. Embedded steel pipe and hoops with grouted slip base connection<br />

may not be viable to connect to the steel horizontal member. This connection may also be more<br />

difficult to monitor or repair than a visible connection.<br />

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

• Breakout strength (of embedded section on concrete foundation)<br />

• Grout strength<br />

• Torsional strength<br />

• Flexural strength<br />

• Monopole to horizontal member connection<br />

6.2.8 Embedded Steel Pipe and Plates with Bolted Plate Connection<br />

In this option, an annular plate would be welded to both the monopole and the stub of the<br />

embedded steel pipe protruding from the foundation. The two annular plates would be bolted<br />

together, allowing <strong>for</strong> space between <strong>for</strong> leveling nuts to be used. The leveling nuts would make<br />

it easier to ensure the monopole was erected properly. See Figure 6-9 <strong>for</strong> the connection setup.<br />
