FOUNDATIONSFOUNDATIONSGUIDE TO COLUMN INSTALLATIONRoot Mounting<strong>Abacus</strong> columns are supplied for rootmounting with a root length (Z, figure 1)applicable to the height of the particularcolumn.For most applications, particularlyon medium size columns havinglarge overturning moments, it isrecommended that the root is insertedinto a prepared foundation (Fig 1).For smaller columns where the groundconditions are suitable, a preparedfoundation is not always necessary(Fig 2). All that is required is a suitablysized excavated hole in undisturbedground, which is filled with concreteafter erection of the column.Back-fillingThe standard stipulates the followingguidelines to be followed:a) All back-filling material is to be placedin 150mm thick layers and be wellcompactedb) During compaction, care is to betaken to ensure that the corrosionprotection system of the lighting columnis not damagedc) Where the hole is back-filled withconcrete, the concrete is to extend fromthe base of the lighting column to groundleveld) Where paving or bituminous surfacingis to be applied around the lightingcolumn, the top level of the concretemay be lowered by the thickness of thissurfacing; ande) A duct with the same dimensions asthe lighting column’s cable entry slot is tobe formed in the concrete using asuitable pre-formed lining tube.ConnectionFuse cut - out unitELSAB1 - single lampELSAB12 - twin lampDoorConnectionFuse cut - out unitELSAB1 - single lampELSAB12 - twin lampDoorGravel / sandto fill excavation voidZConcrete orPVC sleeve.Internal dim =root diameter+ 100mmCompactedfill materialor concretedConcrete collartop & bottom100mm deepd = 50mmUndisturbedgroundConcrete diameterFig 1Concrete diameterFig 2Root diameter - For complete column data information see thecolumns section of www.abacuslighting.comGround Factor GExtract from PD 6547:2004 on ground conditions, in conjunction with BS EN 40-3-1 and -3G (kN/m 2) per mQuality of Soil630 Good: Compact, well-graded sand and gravel, hard clay, well-graded fine and coarse sand, decomposedgranite rock and soil390 Average: Compact fine sand, medium clay, compact well-drained sandy loam, loose coarse sand and gravel.Average soils drain sufficiently well that water does not stand on the surface.230 Poor: Soft clay, clay loam, poorly compacted sand, clays containing a large amount of silt and vegetable matter, andmade-up ground.Poor soil are normally wet and have poor drainageThe minimum root diameters given in this brochure are based on the poorest ground conditions, as provided for in the British Standard publication PD6547:2004The diameter will be smaller if the ground is better44 www.abacuslighting.com
Flange Plate Mounting<strong>Abacus</strong> offers a choice of passive and non passive concretefoundations for flange plate mounting of lighting columns.By taking the OTM (overturning moment) from the column datamatrix in the brochure, and identifying the correct groundpressure, the fully factored concrete foundation dimension canNon-passive mass concretefoundation dimensionsbe determined from the tables below.
