Concrete Footing – Info on building concrete footings including soil assessment, footing dimensions, repairs, spanning soft soil, water excavation, and more
Having Professional Engineers on staff is not an industry standard. JES believes that the expertise of a Professional Engineer is required to design the best solution for structural repair, new commercial construction underpinning, waterproofing and moisture management.
JES can assist you if you require preliminary designs for your commercial project. All of the foundation stabilization and underpinning products we use and recommend have been evaluated by the ICC-ES. The ICC-ES evaluates products, components and materials to ensure safety and compliance. Contact us for more information.
Reinforced concrete footing are proportioned according the provisions of ACI 318, Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete. It is often opined that foundations should not yield, due to the high cost of foundation repair. However, nonlinear soil behavior is common in strong ground shaking, and it is traditional to design foundations for the reduced forces computed with the response modification factor, R, used for the superstructure. Neither the NEHRP Recommended Provisions nor earlier model building codes required the use of amplified forces for foundation design.
