2003 BOCCA RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CODE
(OP)
Does anyone know what the minimum depth a footing needs to be in or to meet the frost penetration depths of BOCCA RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENTS?
Also how about maximum wall bowness in the concrete block walls. They are only 8'-4" in but bowing 1/2" at top of wall. i realize there going to be some deflection but there needs to be threashold.
Pleas attach parts of the code referencing these questions so i have on file.
Thanks,
Tim

The footing depth is a locally governed issue. You need to check with the local building official as this is determined based on the climate of the area, not a model building code.
The tolerance for plumbness for masonry walls would be found in the MSJC Specification (ACI 530.1, ASCE 6, TMS 602), Part 3.
Variation from plumb
+/- 1/4" in 10 ft.
+/- 3/8" in 20 ft.
+/- 1/2" maximum
Alignment of columns and walls (bottom vs. top)
+/- 1/2" for bearing walls
+/- 3/4" for nonbearing walls.

Would you be able to scan these sections of the code applying to concrete masonry plumbness?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
