pool foundation
(OP)
I had a foundation prescription done for a house that concluded the serviceability allowance would be 100kpa.
Built the house with 2' footings and now want to put a pool in.
Question is ..any reason why this same ground would not support a 14x28 pool?
thanks

Mad Mike ...my site is all cut with a 5' retaining wall behind pool ...is the concern with sloping ground that it is more likely to shift or drainage or?
RE: pool foundation
If it is inside the passive wedge you will need to install some type of retaining before educating. Sheet piles, or maybe a secant piled wall. You could shotcrete the face to provide your pool wall.
