Prepared by the Concrete Pole Task Committee of the Committee on Electrical Transmission Structures of the Structural Division of ASCE. This guide presents the proper procedures for the design, fabrication, inspection, testing, and installation of concrete poles. It outlines the information that a line designer should provide to the engineer who is designing the pole structure. It also suggests a suitable quality assurance program to ensure receipt of adequately designed and manufactured product. The guide addresses concrete poles that are spun or statically cast and that are prestressed, partially prestressed, or conventionally reinforced. This performance-oriented guide presents theories and methods that are generally recognized as good practice, but also allows for innovative and unique circumstances to be fully acceptable upon presentation of sufficient test data to demonstrate that proper performance can be achieved.

Electrical codes, standards, recommended practices and regulations can be complex subjects, yet are essential in both electrical design and life safety issues.This book demystifies their usage.It is a handbook of codes, standards, recommended practices and regulations in the United States involving electrical safety and design. Many engineers and electrical safety professionals may not be aware of all of those documents and their applicability. This book identifies those documents by category, allowing the ready and easy access to the relevant requirements. Because these documents may be updated on a regular basis, this book was written so that its information is not reliant on the latest edition or release of those codes, standards, recommended practices or regulations.No single document on the market today attempts to not only list the majority of relevant electrical design and safety codes, standards, recommended practices and regulations, but also explain their use and updating cycles. This book, one-stop-information-center for electrical engineers, electrical safety professionals, and designers, does. - Covers the codes, standards, recommended practices and regulations in the United States involving electrical safety and design, providing a comprehensive reference for engineers and electrical safety professionals - Documents are identified by category, enabling easy access to the relevant requirements - Not version-specific; information is not reliant on the latest edition or release of the codes, standards, recommended practices or regulations

This report is a follow up to the 0-4998-1 and 0-4998-2 reports. It describes a prototype framework of specification requirements and corresponding unit cost work items for communication utilities. The requirements for each specification include a summary table outlining the main characteristics of the proposed specification and provide a listing of bid items, subsidiary items, and units of measurement, followed by a list of specification requirements. This report also summarizes a methodology to develop utility adjustment cost estimates during the early stages of the project development process and a procedure for estimating the uncertainty and likelihood of exceedance of those estimates.
