Testing:
The pole was subjected to 2 load
cycles. After cycle 1, the load was
released and residual tip movements
were recorded. Load cycle 2 was
continued until pole failure. The
load and deflection data from the
test was adjusted to account for the
14.5 degree line angle of the cable
during testing as shown in Figure 1.
The measured load, adjusted load
and adjusted deflection for each
cycle is shown in the following table
and the included graph:
