49 Chapter 3 FOUNDATIONS AND FOUNDATION walls This Chapter discusses FOUNDATIONS and FOUNDATION walls constructed using the two most common FOUNDATION materials concrete and masonry. Although the IRC permits the use of treated wood for FOUNDATIONS and FOUNDATION walls and insulating concrete form (ICF) for FOUNDATION walls , this guide does not cover those materials other than to inform the reader that wood FOUNDATIONS in Seismic design Categories (SDCs) D1 and D2 require engineering design and many of the reinforcement requirements for concrete also apply to ICF (see Chapter 4 of the IRC for more information on the use of these materials). The subject of frost protection of FOUNDATIONS also is not discussed in this guide but, where required by the code (see IRC Section ) or local regulations, FOUNDATIONS must either extend below the frost line or be protected from frost using approved methods.
