RS Technologies RStandard utility poles are constructed from a fber-reinforced polymer (FRP)
material system, which utilize an ultra-strong polyurethane resin. The use of this composite material, in
conjunction with a modular pole design, provides transmission, distribution and communication poles
of lower overall weight, enhanced strength and longer lifespan than traditional pole alternatives.
This design guide has been developed to highlight the benefts of RS FRP technology as an alternative
to traditional materials and to outline a process that can be used to select the appropriate RStandard
pole and hardware. Additional information on the performance of RS composite utility poles can be
found on the individual pole data sheets and in the technical specifcation. Any questions related to this
guide, or the application of modular composite utility poles, can be directed to the RS Technologies
Customer Service department.

1.0 Introduction to the RStandard Design Guide
3
The following pages illustrate the performance of RStandard modular composite utility poles in a
series of load-defection charts and tables. Owing to the history and familiarity of designers with
wooden poles, the performance of western red cedar (WRC) poles of the same length is overlaid on
each chart.
The maximum loads plotted are horizontal unfactored working loads, obtained by applying the
appropriate CSA minimum load factors for Grade 1 and Grade 2 Construction. The maximum
defections are pole tip defections, when the unfactored working loads are applied horizontally at a
point 60 cm [2 ft.] from the pole tip. The loads for WRC poles are based on the defning pole class
loads corrected to UFWL with CSA factors, with corresponding defections. Load and defection values
are given in both metric [kN, cm] and imperial [lb., in.] units. Defections stated are pole tip resultant
defection which includes both horizontal and vertical defection.
The following charts and tables use the RStandard pole codes. See Figure 1 for an understanding of
pole code components.
From Figure 1 the sample code denotes a 12 m pole using modules 2, 3 and 4 with the top module cut
to achieve the 12 m length.
Note: The RStandard pole codes in this document for reinforced modules (RRRR), colour (CCC)
and hardware confguration (HHH) have not been defned as the data sheets represent basic module
combinations.

The process to select an appropriate RStandard composite pole for a given application is as follows:
A horizontal line is drawn at the required horizontal unfactored working load or pole class. Any
RStandard pole curves (blue) with unfactored working loads above this horizontal line represent
poles that meet the strength requirement. When more than one RStandard pole meets this strength
criteria, the designer can select from these poles that which satisfes the defection criteria by referring
to the horizontal axes for tip defections at a point coinciding with the intersection of the horizontal
unfactored working load and the RStandard pole curves. Refer to the top axis for metric [cm]
defections and lower axis for defections in imperial [in.] units. This process is outlined in 3.1.
Where applications require RStandard composite poles to carry heavy vertical or combined loads
(vertical and transverse), please contact RS Technologies Technical Support for assistance in selecting
the correct composite pole for the application. For a comprehensive explanation of class equivalence
between poles of differing material systems, refer to the Technical Specifcation for Composite Poles
for Electric Utility and Communication Applications (CDN version).

3.1 Example of Pole Selection Process
Pole Length: 22.5 m [73.8 ft.] Pole
A designer requires that a 22.5 m [73.8 ft.] pole capable of supporting an unfactored horizontal working
load of 15.1 kN [3,400 lb.] is required. Also under consideration is selection based on an H2 pole class.
Using the 22.5 m [73.8 ft.] Load-Defection Comparison chart for Canadian Standards Association (CSA)
Grade 1 construction (as shown in Figure 3), a horizontal line is drawn on the chart at 15.1 kN [3,400 lb.].
The load defection curves for three RStandard poles intersect the horizontal line and as such satisfy the
required load these are the RSP-0750-F-0711-C, RSP-0750-F-0509-C and RSP-0750-F-0307-C.
At the horizontal working load of 15.1 kN [3,400 lb.], any of these three poles can be used in the absence
of pole tip defection requirements. If the designer requires no more than 150 cm [59 in.] of defection at
the unfactored working load, using the top axis for defection, the most appropriate pole is the
RSP-0750-F-0509-C (see red dotted lines, Figure 4).
Figure 4: 22.5 m [73.8 ft.] Load vs. Defection Comparison chart for use in the pole selection example.
3.0 Selecting RStandard Composite Utility Poles
The RStandard pole codes in the chart have been truncated to represent basic module combinations. For a full

The extensive full-scale testing of RS composite utility poles has established the uniformity of the
RStandard product. Having low test Coeffcients of Variation (COVs < 10%) permits application of the
lowest minimum load factors when using RStandard composite utility poles for the overhead systems
(CSA C22.3 1-06, 2006, p. 80) and allows customers to gain full beneft from the strength and stiffness
characteristics of this composite material system. This is a substantial advantage, compared with the
application of wood pole default minimum load factors.
Moreover, full-scale testing has shown that RStandard poles can be repeatedly loaded to their working
strength, returning to their original shape/position each time the load is removed. This refects the
high elastic strain energy storage capacity of the structure and means RStandard poles can endure
signifcant high cycle loading.
In high cycle loading situations, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) suggests in its manual,
Recommended Practice for Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Products for Overhead Utility Line Structures that when
considering a pole material using a performance-based criteria, fbre-reinforced polymeric materials
are commonly employed because they possess superior fatigue strength (ASCE, 2003, p. 32).
Independent 3rd party testing of RSs E-Glass/polyurethane material system has shown that its fatigue
life is in a comparable range to other FRP materials.
RS poles are currently installed throughout North America, Australia, Europe, South America, Asia and
the Caribbean. These installations are subject to extreme temperatures, corrosive environments, pest
attacks, heavy loading and severe weather and continue to deliver superior, predictable performance.

5.0 Creep Behavior of E-Glass/Polyurethane
Composite Materials
Creep is the time-dependent deformation of a material under constant load. This deformation is
permanent and can affect the lifetime of a structure. It occurs in most materials, though is primarily of
concern when operating at elevated temperatures. Composites are similarly affected when in service at
temperatures approaching the glass transition temperature of the polymer matrix.
RS E-glass/polyurethane material system has been independently tested for its creep response
under both fexure and tensile loading conditions. Similar composite materials manufactured using
other E-glass/polymer combinations were also tested for comparison. These results show that the RS
samples followed the typical pattern of longer times to failure at lower applied stress levels. RS E-glass
/polyurethane composites also exhibited comparable times to failure as composites with other polymer
matrices and had comparable creep rates to E-glass/polyester composites.
The American Society of Civil Engineers states that fbre-reinforced polymer (FRP) structures can be
cyclically loaded to maximum working load without showing any evidence of appreciable long-term
creep (ASCE, 2003, p. 32). RStandard poles are made from an FRP system.

Defnitions
Slip joint the overlapping section of two truncated cones (modules) when one is placed over the other
and the two are brought together to form an interference (friction) ft.
Tolerance - the designed allowable variance of a physical part or assembly dimension specifed as a
factor, percentage or range.
Interpretation
A slip joint is the method used to join two or more modules together to create a longer pole. The length
of the overlap between any two adjoining modules is proportional to the inside diameter of the upper
module base. As module size increases, so does the overlap in order to transfer the higher bending
loads from either increased pole length or higher class rating. The allowable variation in length of the
slip joint overlap has been accounted for in the design of the RStandard modular pole system.
User Impacts
Slip joint tolerances are important considerations in the design of structures based on the
RStandard pole because they can impact:
1) Overall pole height
2) Drill pattern hole spacing
3) Hardware selection
Structural Impacts
The allowable variation in slip joint overlap length has minimal impact on the structural performance of
the pole and is accounted for in the information contained in the technical data sheets included in this
document.
See Figure 5 and the accompanying overlap chart for more information.
