Load bearing capacity of road illumination pole installed on bridges

Abstract

<p>Collapse and falling of columnar structures such as road illumination poles installed on a bridge have been confirmed in the past earthquakes. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the seismic resistance of columnar structures from the viewpoint of securing the function as an emergency transportation route in the event of disaster. In this study, the destruction order and destruction form of the road illumination pole in the external force action were analyzed and verified, and the model specimen was produced to carry out the static load test. As a result of the experiment, it was shown that anchor bolts and wall concretes of the base were damaged antecedently.</p>
