CHAPTER 5 - FOUNDATION REQUIREMENTS
CHAPTER 5 - FOUNDATION REQUIREMENTS 500. GENERAL. This section outlines general material and quality standards for all foundations in this manual. 501. EXCAVATION 501-1. FOOTING DEPTH. Excavation for footings or FOUNDATION walls shall extend below depth of soil subjected to seasonal or character-istic volume change to undisturbed soil that provides adequate bearing. Select the greatest depth required by any of the provisions below, reference Figure 5-1. A. Maximum Frost Penetration Depth. The bottom of footings shall extend at least to the depth indicated on the map on page H-4. B. Alternate Seasonal Wetting and Drying. This is especially important with ex-pansive soils. If expansive soils exist, consult a geotechnical engineer to obtain required foot-ing depth. C. Footing Depth. The footings shall be deep enough to provide required uplift capac-ity. (This value may need to be determined for high wind areas after the calculations needed to determine footing bearing have been com-pleted.)
503-6. FOUNDATION WALLS FOR BASEMENTS. The design and reinforcing of basement walls is NOT in the scope of this document. Refer to local codes and ordinances for guidance.
