Timber Lagging Not Allowed by California Buidling Code
Timber Lagging Not Allowed by California Buidling Code
(OP)
Working on a project using drilled concrete piles, with timber lagging initially proposed between the concrete piles to retain fill. However, I've been informed that there is some belief timber lagging is no longer allowed in the California Building Code.
Does anyone know if this is true? And if it is/isn't, do you have any information where this is located in the building code? Thanks.

I would shotcrete a slab between the piles, using the lagging as a backform. Don't forget waterproof and drainage details.
