Avg. Max. Frost Depth in South Carolina | Eng-Tips Concur with blackwed, however assuming a frost depth of 6 inches anywhere in South Carolina is a typical, very conservative assumption The state currently uses IBC 2003
Frost Heave Calculation | Eng-Tips Frost heave can easily be several inches in northern states with frost-susceptible (silty) soils and a shallow water table or just poor drainage On the other hand, dry, clean, sand or gravel may freeze without heaving Heave can vary a lot from year to year depending on moisture conditions and weather
Top or Bottom of Footing? | 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
Can foundation weight allow avoidance of frost depth? | Eng-Tips A contractor is suggesting the use of 1ft deep, very wide concrete slab to support heavy rotating equipment The local jurisdiction has a required frost depth 42in Can a very heavy foundation (while still below the allowable bearing capacity of the soil) eliminate the need to go below the 42"
Drilled Pier Frost Heave | Eng-Tips Hello, I am currently designing concrete drilled piers, and per the geotech report, the recommendations incur a 1600 psf design stress for potential frost heave The recommendations also state that placing friction reducing material can be considered as an alternate option to prevent damage
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
Which soils are most susceptible to frost heaving? | Eng-Tips However there is still some potential for frost heave, especially of there are variations in the soil As mentioned in the other thread, would be best to insulate footings having inadequate cover (side of wall below grade and laterally over footing) to maintain soils thawed under footing
Frost line depth | Eng-Tips 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
Frost depth consideration in existing rock layer | Eng-Tips If I propose to install a strip footing of reinf concrete for live and dead loads such that design allowable soil bearing capacity is 8000 psf do i have to be concerned about the fact that the existing rock layer is above the frost line?
