AKA The Wiggle Test - a photo on Flickriver

Something strange going on here...

"Aggressive environmental factors such as soil humidity, stray currents, dog urine, and vibration stress caused by wind and vehicles affect the service life of poles and their foundations.
For example, poles can be damaged by corrosion and fine hairline cracks, foundations are subject to decay, rot, and erosion.
There is also the risk that combined damage can worsen the situation. All of these effects are not necessarily visible, and without timely replacement, it will inevitably happen: The pole will collapse.

Conventional testing methods used up to now, such as ultrasound, basic static load tests, or simple hammer blows, are not capable of fully meeting the requirements for stability testing, and thus do not ensure safety. Compiling all relevant data is the only way to reach clear conclusions about the structural stability of a pole with regard to its fixation in the ground and its material condition. This applies to all vertically mounted systems, regardless of their nature and type.

In conjunction with an analysis of the force-displacement graph, stability testing with the Roch method meets all of the requirements pertaining to the duty to ensure road safety, and defines the technological state of the art worldwide. The Roch “Infrastrukturprojekt Straßenbeleuchtung 2000” (Infrastructure Project: Street Lighting 2000) study on the structural stability of pole systems, which is representative on a Germany-wide scale, found that 3.3% of all poles pose a hazard."
