Fence Calculation

This document provides specifications for designing a chain link fence post foundation including dimensions of the posts and fence, soil properties, wind parameters, and calculations of maximum post spacing, wind pressure, resultant force, bending moment, and required embedment depth. The key details are that the fence is 1.825m high with 3m post spacing, the soil has an internal friction angle of 16 degrees, the basic wind speed is 47m/s, and the provided 0.8m foundation depth is determined to be sufficient.

Inputs

Foundation Post
Post length = 0.065 m 0.213265 ft
Post Width = 0.065 m 0.213265 ft
Diagonal = 0.09192388155425 m 0.301602 ft
Post depth = 0.8 m 2.6248 ft

Fence Characteristics
Chain Link Specs = For a #9 gauge, 2-1/4” mesh fabric From Table 9
Fence Post = Group 1A, 2 3/8" dia
= 2.56 inch
Height of fence = 1.825 m
5.99 ft

Geotech Parametres
SBC = 152.98 kPa
3195.75 psf
Angle of internal friction = 16 degrees
Density = 16 kN/m3

Wind Parameters
Basic wind speed = 47 m/s
= 105.139 mph
Wind Direction Normal to fence
Exposure Category = C
Maximum post spacing S’ = S X Cf1 x Cf2 x Cf3
where,
S = Spacing as per Table 2 based upon the line post size and height desired
Cf1 = Coefficients that account for the type, size and mesh of the wire fabric
Cf2 = Wind exposure category coefficient Table 10
Cf3 = Icing effects probability coefficient Table 11
Hence,
S = 2.21 (Group 1A, 2 3/8" dia pipe of 5.98 feet height)
Cf1 = 9.86 ( For a 3.0mm dia, 2-1/4” mesh fabric)
Cf2 = 0.67
Cf3 = 1
S' = 14.600 feet
= 4.450 m
Provided Spacing = 3.000 m Safe
9.843 feet
Net Area of fence A = 58.938 ft2

Wind pressure is design wind pressure (q)


Wind Pressure (q ) = (0.00256)Kz x Kzt x Kd x G x Cf x V2
Exposure factor (Kz ) = 0.85

TOPOGRAPHIC FACTOR,
PRESUMED = 1 FOR NO = 1 As per clause 26.8.2 of ASCE7-10, Chapter 26)
TOPOGRAPHIC EFFECTS (Kzt )

DIRECTIONALITY FACTOR (Kd ) = 0.85 Table 26.6-1 of ASCE7-19, Chapter 26


GUST FACTOR ( G ) = 0.85 As per clause 26.9.1 of ASCE7-19, Chapter 26)
FORCE COEFFICIENT ( Cf ) = 1.3
V = 105.139 mph
q = 22.59 psf
P = Resultant concenterated wind force
= (1/Cf1) x net area of fence x wind pressure
P = 135.05 lbs
= 0.6 kN
Moment due to Lateral load = Wl2/2
= 1.00 kN-m
Embedment Depth

A= 0.328 ft
h= 0.5H+0.05H
3.293 ft
D= 2.620 ft
d= 1.261 ft
0.384 m
Provided depth = 0.800 m Safe
