Manufactured Housing Value
Manufactured Housing Value
(OP)
I am calculating loading on an existing manufactured home and I am reviewing capacity for sliding in the transverse direction and longitudinal direction. I am having difiiculty finding the manufacturer's supplied rating for sliding.
Within HUD's permanent Foundations Guide for Manufactured Housing, the manufacturer supplied rated capacity for sliding is 400 lbs/ft. This value is used in their example calculations. Is this value a conservative number to use within the Southern Indiana area?
Any help is appreciated.....Thanks!!

RE: Manufactured Housing Value
The base material would have a major impact on sliding factors.
Can you do a test and determine the sliding coefficient?
Don't forget tipping moments.
