About this file
This document is a structural design calculation report prepared by TLP Engineering Consultants Inc. for the Reedy Creek Improvement District in Orange County, Florida, detailing the design of two replacement overhead sign truss structures (OT-1 and OT-2) located along Epcot Center Drive. The project, identified as CFTOD C006779, involves the replacement of span trusses for overhead sign structures using LRFD methodology and FDOT design specifications. The OT-1 truss structure measures 67 feet in length with left and right truss heights of 24.133 feet and 25.803 feet respectively, while the OT-2 structure spans 75 feet with heights of 23.483 feet and 24.433 feet. Both structures utilize 5.563-inch O.D. pipe chords with 0.375-inch wall thickness, 4-inch by 4-inch by 0.5-inch web angles, and 24-inch O.D. pipe uprights with 0.562-inch wall thickness. The design incorporates comprehensive connection details, drilled shaft foundations, and reinforcement specifications, with all design checks returning "OK" status. The calculations were completed on March 19, 2026, and approved by David Michael Waddell, P.E., under Certificate of Authority #27382.
The design calculations demonstrate that both overhead sign structures meet all LRFD and FDOT specifications for structural adequacy under wind loads of 150 mph at design heights of 67 and 75 feet respectively. Foundation design incorporates drilled shafts with 5-foot diameters; the OT-1 structure requires 19-foot and 18-foot deep shafts at the left and right uprights respectively, while the OT-2 structure requires 17-foot and 20-foot deep shafts. Both structures include 19 number 11 reinforcing bars evenly spaced with 8-inch stirrup spacing in designated zones. Anchorage consists of 2-inch diameter ASTM F1554 bolts, with 10 bolts at each base connection embedded 40 inches into the drilled shafts. All fatigue calculations, connection checks, shear and torsion resistance, and reinforcement capacity evaluations conform to applicable standards with adequate safety margins. The document includes detailed specifications for splices, gusset plates, base connections, and longitudinal and transverse reinforcement requirements necessary for construction implementation.
