Column Load on Foundation Wall
Column Load on Foundation Wall
(OP)
I've designed a residence with (2) center posts and (2) end posts on the end walls. The length of the Girder is 40' with 12.5' end spans.
My question is innoculous enough, the end columns carry 8700# LL & 3100# DL each. With a 18" wide footer on 1500 psi soil that equates to about 5.25 linear feet of footer.
What is the load path down through the foundation, is it a 45 degree angle each side of vertical?
Oh, and for fun the center posts carry about 30000# total DL+LL each on 4.25 ft sq piers.
Thanks
