which has been drilled and tapped to receive the anchor bolt may be furnished.
Ensure that the nuts used with each anchor bolt are capable of developing the full
strength of the anchor bolt.
725.22 Plastic Caution Tape. Furnish tape that is an inert material,
approximately 6 inches (150 mm) wide composed of polyethylene plastic, highly
resistant to alkalis, acids or other chemical components likely to be encountered in
soils. Furnish tape that is bright red with identifying printing “ELECTRIC” in
black letters on one side only. Furnish tape in continuous rolls with the identifying
lettering repeated continuously the full length of the tape.
730 TRAFFIC SIGN AND SUPPORT MATERIAL
730.01 Steel Tube and Pipe. Furnish steel tube and pipe according to ASTM
A 53, Grade B or ASTM A 501, except provide tubing for truss and end frame
diagonals according to 711.01.
730.015 U-Channel Posts. Furnish U-channel posts fabricated from steel into
a characteristic cross-section that may be used alone or paired to form a heavier
post by being bolted together back to back. Furnish posts with a uniform cross
section for their full length. Cut posts square to a length tolerance ±1 inch (±25
mm) and ensure that posts do not have ragged or sharp edges, or cracks or other
imperfections affecting strength or durability. The back of the posts may be flat or
contain raised longitudinal ribs.
Furnish posts meeting the deflection criteria of Supplement 1075. Furnish posts
manufactured from rail or billet steel according to ASTM A 499, Grade 60.
Provide a yield type driven post without breakaway devices conforming to
NCHRP 350 requirements. Provide a copy of the approval letter from FHWA.
Other material specifications may be accepted by the Department for drive posts
conforming to the dimensional requirements listed below and on ODOT standard
drawings and the performance requirements of NCHRP 350.
Furnish posts with a nominal weight before punching or galvanizing as follows:
Post Size Number Weight lb/ft (kg/m) Tolerances %
1 1.12 (1.7) -3.5, +10.0
2 2.00 (3) -3.5, +10.0
3 3.00 (4.5) -3.5, +10.0
Furnish posts with 3/8-inch (10 mm) diameter holes accurately punched on the
centerline spaced at 1-inch (25 mm) centers beginning not more than 1 1/8 inches
(30 mm) from the top of the post through the entire length, to allow bolting the
posts back to back, without redrilling, using 5/16-inch (8 mm) diameter bolts.
Furnish posts that have been galvanized after punching according to 711.02.
Furnish materials according to the Department’s Qualified Products List (QPL).
730.016 Square Posts. Furnish square posts fabricated from steel according to
ASTM A 1011 with a minimum yield strength of 60,000 pounds per square inch
(415 MPa), with 7/16-inch (11 mm) diameter die-cut knockouts or open holes
