Answer to Question #110912 in Civil and Environmental Engineering for THIONG SAMUEL ATENY

Question

shows a conceptual drawing of an outdoor lamp post by the town council. The lamp post is standing vertically on the ground and you are required to propose an appropriate lamp post height within town council guidelines. The lamp with a mass of 06 kg hangs on a point of a horizontal arm with a length of 1.0 m, which is connected on the top-most point of the vertical post. The lamp post is exposed to wind force, blowing on the left side of the lamp post with a distributed load of 8 kN/m.
You are required by the town council to perform an assessment on the loads that are applied on the lamp post structure including assumptions on type of support (between the lamp post and the ground) and justification for it. Based on these justifications, determine the reactions experienced by the lamp post. Recommend and prove measures that can be adopted to reduce moment reactions at the support of the lamp post if an additional uniformly distributed snow load of 2 kN/m is added on the horizontal arm of the lamp post.
