PT Foundation Questions
PT Foundation Questions
(OP)
I am considering completing the construction of a residential building on a a new abandoned project foundation. This is a PT foundation atop drilled piers. The plans do not indicate either the presence of or requirement for void boxes (carton forms) and there is no mention in the engineer's notes regarding geotechnical test reports in an area of know expansive soils. Would these two issues not be addressed as standard engineering practice in writing in the original plans?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I'm curious how you will design the super structure for an existing foundation if you don't know what the allowable pier loads are that it was designed for.
AS.
RE: PT Foundation Questions
My original question was whether or not this information is included in the foundation plans as a general engineering practice. All other plans I have seen within the past 30 years have had the information included.
