Answer 1

wat is the pole for....?...the size and the anchoring details all depends on the usage.....more info needed.

most probably u will need a 100X100X10mm thk galvanised steel section.

at the top u can weld "branching out" smaller sections of 20X20X5mm thk to hang your cables.

at the base u need an RC base of at least  1000x1000x200thk.

the pole must have a baseplate of at least 8 mm thk wit at least 4 m10 steel anchors.

Answer 3

That depends on the pole height, the pole is subject to it's own weight, and the wind pressure, and will be designed as a long cantilever with fixed at the pole foundation, all moments will be on the foundation and the base plate, which shall be supported on the foundation with a long anchor bolts.

The pole will have larger diameter at the base and can be reduced as you go up. off course the pole has to be from steel pipes
