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
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
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
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
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
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
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"
Exterior Equipment Concrete Pad | Eng-Tips The frost jacking happens due to ice lens formation at the boundary btwn cold enough and not cold enough I don't know about ice lens formation, but I guess my thinking was that if the concrete is thick enough than this "boundary" you mention may occur within the concrete pad and therefore nullify any heave
