Design, Testing, and Specification of a Mechanical Damping Device for Mast Arm Traffic Signal Structures
This report describes the development and testing of several different damping devices for cantilevered mast arm structures. Prototype damping devices were tested on a 37-ft. mast arm constructed in the Structures Laboratory at the University of Florida. Successful devices were then field tested on three existing mast arms to determine their effectiveness on a range of mast arm lengths. The optimum device was then placed on a mast arm in Tampa, Florida that had been observed to undergo significant wind-induced movement on a regular basis. The structure was monitored with and without the device in place to compare the overall effectiveness of the device. The specifications for a tapered impact damper (final device) are included.
