ASTM C1824-16 (R2021) PDF Download

The ASTM C1824-16 (R2021) standard provides a prescribed procedure for determining the bending moment capacity of spun prestressed concrete bases used with tapered steel lighting poles. This test method is intended to ensure that the apparatus used meets the necessary requirements and to verify the calculated bending moment capacity, serve as a quality control tool for the manufacturing process, and determine statistical bending moment capacity.

However, it is important to note that this test method is not suitable for evaluating full-length prestressed concrete, steel, or composite poles. The standard focuses specifically on the bending moment capacity and cracking moment capacity of concrete bases used as foundations for tapered steel lighting poles in accordance with Specification C1804.
