Minimum Considerations

You are expected to perform the design work that closely matches with actual industrial practices. Therefore, select a road /highway where you want to install this traffic signaling system. Minimum design inputs should be based on the following considerations-

  • Wind Load- Consider Average and Maximum  velocity.
  • Post Load, Beam load, Wind direction
  • Maximum allowable Deflections as per the engineering Code
  • Beam load, Bending and shear diagram
  • Combined stresses at each critical location as marked red in the schematic diagram.
