This document provides the design calculations for a flagpole footing based on the International Building Code (IBC) and California Building Code (CBC). It analyzes both an unrestrained and restrained 6-foot diameter footing. Through an iterative process, it determines that an unrestrained footing should be 30.55 feet deep, while a restrained footing requires a depth of 30.27 feet. The analysis considers factors like lateral soil bearing capacity, pole height, and lateral force at the top of the pole to determine the required footing depth.
