This option provides a possible alternative to the current annular plate and anchor bolt<br />

connection. The FDOT currently uses a detail similar to this in Index No. 11860 in their Design<br />

Standards (See Figure 6-3). However, this detail has only been used with aluminum single<br />

column posts <strong>for</strong> ground signs.<br />

6.2.4 Embedded Concrete Pipe with Bolts Option with Bolted Slip Base Connection<br />

In this option, a prestressed concrete pipe with bolts option, either tapered or not tapered,<br />

will be embedded into the foundation with a portion of the pipe extending beyond the<br />

foundation. This option is very similar to the embedded steel pipe and plate option with slip base<br />

connection. One obvious difference would be that the embedded pipe would be concrete rather<br />

than steel. Another difference is that the embedded portion would have bolts acting in a manner<br />

similar to the plates. The bolts would connect plates to the concrete section. As explained later in<br />

this section, the embedded concrete pipe with bolts may be replaced with a geometric section<br />

without bolts if necessary. See Figure 6-5 <strong>for</strong> the overall setup of this connection as a concrete<br />

pipe with bolts.<br />
