FDOT Standard Plans Index 641-020: Concrete CCTV Pole
Short answer
Index 641-020 is the FDOT Standard Plan for Concrete CCTV Pole, part of Series 641 (Traffic Control Signals and Devices). The sections below are extracted from FDOT's Standard Plans Instructions (SPI) for this index — design criteria, assumptions and limitations, and what your plans must show.
Design Criteria
Design Criteria AASHTO LRFD Specifications for Structural Supports for Highway Signs, Luminaires and Traffic Signals (LRFDLTS-1) ; Structures Manual (SM) , Volume 3, FDOT Modifications to LRFDLTS-1; Structures Manual (SM) Introduction, I.6
Design Assumptions and Limitations
Design Assumptions and Limitations See FDM 261 and Structures Manual (SM) , Volume 3 for additional design criteria. The concrete CCTV poles are designed for: 1. 170 mph wind speed with a 700 year Mean Recurrence Interval (MRI), 2.
A one inch maximum deflection in a 40 mph wind speed (3 second gust), and 3. A camera with an effective projected area (EPA) of 5.6 square feet and weight of 240 pounds (resulting in an approximate one-half inch pole tip deflection at 40 mph). For future operational needs, an EPA of 25 square feet and weight of 1000 pounds can be accommodated, resulting in an approximate one-inch tip deflection at 40 mph.
Camera vibration may need to be monitored. Wind load is calculated assuming a maximum fill height of 25 feet. Do not use the design tables for fill heights more than 25 feet.
Foundations are designed using the diameter of the pole (neglecting the non-structural concrete) and the following soil criteria: Classification: Cohesionless (Fine Sand) Friction Angle: 30 Degrees Unit Weight: 50 lbs/cubic foot (assumed submerged) When the designer considers soil types at the specific site location to be of lesser strength properties than shown above, an analysis is required. Auger borings, SPT borings, or CPT soundings may be used as needed to verify the assumed soil properties, and at sites confirmed to be uniform, a single boring or sounding may cover several foundations. Borings in the area that were performed for other purposes may be used to confirm the assumed soil properties.

How PDFDepth uses this index
When a plan set cites Index 641-020, PDFDepth's AI Plan Review cross-references the set against the Plan Content Requirements for the FDOT indexes it cites and flags items that appear to be missing — each with a citation to the sheet. A human reviewer verifies every flag before it counts.
