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
Sources for Frost Depth Values | Eng-Tips Hello all, this is my first post here so please bear with me Where do you go to find accurate frost depth line values? At my job, we often have to design footers foundations rapidly so as to get them to a costumer for the purposes of an estimate Because everything needs done ASAP, contacting
Exterior Large Equipment Pad with deep frost depths | Eng-Tips Frost heave isn't really caused by just the moisture in the soil freezing (and the subsequent small volume increase) It becomes an issue when ice lensing happens This is when a horizontal layer of ice forms and continues to grow in thickness as water is drawn into the freezing layer through capillary action in the soil If you have non-frost susceptible soil (large granular fill), capillary
Frost box? | Eng-Tips A "Frost box" is probably a term for a variation (enhancement) of the sheet insulation over the pipe, where vertical insulation is placed along the pipe to better protect the pipe contain the heat
Frost line depth | Eng-Tips Hi guys! How many of you take in account the frost line depth while defining the foundation depth? Im asking this couse for my country wich is relativly warm, has mild winters rearly under 0"C for no longer then 7 days, minimum foundation depth is 80cm below finished ground level Converstaing
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
Stoops | Eng-Tips Stoops are any sort of entrance entity that is situated adjacent to building exits They serve two main purposes: 1 Provide proper surfaces to exit on, such as a landing, stairway, ramp, etc 2 In freeze areas, provide a deep enough foundation underneath to avoid frost heave and the resulting jamming of the door as it tries to open
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
Preheat coil on AHU - cold climate | Eng-Tips The "frost thermostat" you mention is commonly called a freezestat It is normally an averaging sensor installed downstream of the preheat coil, and it is wired into the fan control circuit to shut down the fan if the temperature approaches freezing
Footing and Foundations on surface Bedrock | Eng-Tips The Code Frost depth is 3'-6" My question may be silly but, does the surface bedrock need to be excavated (by blasting or hammering) down to the 3'-6" depth in oder to avoid any possible damage due to freezing thawing? If so, is there a documented reference book I could purchase for insight? If not, what depths and or method would be proper?
