Another FHA/HUD Foundation question
Another FHA/HUD Foundation question
(OP)
Hello all,
I looked at a modular foundation that is built like most are.....dry stacked piers. Is this specifically ruled out as an option from the FHA/HUD permanet foundation manual even if there are other lateral support systems such as X bracing and/or straps? Thanks!

RE: Another FHA/HUD Foundation question
Section 503-4 (MASONRY PIERS AND WALLS) of the FHA/HUD Guidelines has the following: "All masonry piers and walls shall have mortared bed and head joints. Reinforcing and grouting shall be in accordance with the foundation concept selected from Appendix A and designed in Appendix C."
I found a website that said the only HUD/FHA approved retrofit for "dry stack" masonry piers is outlined in HUD's material release 907 F (see link below):

Also, a document you might want to take a look at is "Guide to Foundation and Support Systems for Manufactured Homes," which can be found on the www.huduser.org website:

Hope this helps :)

I found some great information at Tie Down Engineering (www.tiedown.com). The people there were knowlegible and helpful. Maybe they can shed some light.
