Frost depth consideration in case of refusals
Frost depth consideration in case of refusals
(OP)
Dear all,
In case of foundation design, steel pile and concrete pier embedment is kept larger than frost depth.
How does one approach a situation where refusal is encountered, even before frost depth is reached.
Is it fine to keep foundation at lesser depth than frost till it is fine in uplift and lateral deflection. (In case of refusals)

I have same question further as jayrod12, "what about frost heave from adfreezing grabbing the sides of the pile and popping it out of the ground. I'd be inclined to be more worried about it."
Thank you for your prompt response.

Since the depth of freezing, depends on water content, all other conditions the same, where is the shallowest depth of freezing "Frost Depth"?
Answer: a lake.
Be careful throwing around "standard" terms.
