- Top or Bottom of Footing? - Foundation engineering | Eng-Tips
Frost depth always has been and should be to the bottom of the footing You are trying to avoid a condition where frost occurs in the soil directly under a footing and in which case the soil expands (or rather the moisture freezes and expands within the soil matrix) and dislocates the footing

Hello All, How can I determine the frost line depth for a project in Virginia? All I can find in the code is in R301 2 which leaves in up to the locality The online version of the code is blank in this section Any help would be appreciated
- How is frost depth determined calculated? | Eng-Tips
If frost depth is determined for a county, how many tests do they perform before the county is satisfied with their estimate of frost depth? Is climate change taken into account in frost depth calculations? It seems to me that there are a ton of variables that could affect frost depth, so am just curious how these numbers are typically determined
- Crushed stone size limitation for non-expansive frostfree fill - Soil . . .
Hi, Guys, Need help here I remember there was a thread before, which discusses about the crushed stone size for use as non-expansive frostfree fill But I
- Frost Depths - Structural engineering general discussion | Eng-Tips
Wisconsin Enrolled Commercial Building Code and BOCA both, similarly state " foundation walls, piers and other permanent supports of buildings and structures shall extend below the frost line of the locality As a general rule in my area of Wisconsin, we assume frost levels to be
- Floating slab on grade detail at exterior door | Eng-Tips
I will probably continue to show a floating slab with an expansion joint between the slab and the typical exterior wall, and then show a downturn thickened slab edge bearing on either a short foundation stem wall (frost wall I guess you guys and or gals call it up north) or directly on the footing
- NC State Frost Depth | Eng-Tips
What is the minimum frost depth for foundations for North Carolina? Is this info in the NCSBC?
- footing insulation | Eng-Tips
Typical frost penetration is 6'-8' in snow-free areas, and 10' in cold winters Two inches of insulation is placed against the exterior of the foundation wall above the footing This effectively directs building heat below footings to prevent frost below them Alternate insulation schemes and footing depths are allowed
