Banded Attachments
Concrete poles are particularly well suited for banding on appurte-
nances because a concrete pole is dimensionally stable with no shrinkage
and concrete poles generally provide a uniform surface and a consistent
pole taper. Common types of banding systems include steel strapping,
cast steel links, and fabricated steel bands. Banding systems must be
designed for the loads they will support (see Figs. 5-13, 5-14, and 5-15).
During the design of connections, the engineer should consider eccen-
tric and torsional moments, combined stresses, localized stress concentra-
tions, or other loads resulting from the confi guration of the connection.
