Footing corner uplift
Footing corner uplift
(OP)
If you have it in a footing per AASHTO code(std. specs for highway signs, luminaires), do you need to somehow mitigate that condition or you just need to show that the OT factor is more than 1.5 and it does not exceed 25% of the footing bearing area? thanks!






RE: Footing corner uplift
Bottom line is that as long as the FS for OT and sliding is 1.5 or greater and the allowable soil bearing is OK, the design should be fine.
