PEMB foundations - using slab to resist wind
PEMB foundations - using slab to resist wind
(OP)
I am designing a PEMB foundation. I've designed multiple of these. For DL and SL thrust, usually I use hairpins or ties/grade beams to resist loading. For wind loading, the tension tie can be used to resist the outward thrust from the column in the leeward side. Has anyone used the slab and grade beam to resist in part or all of thrust on the windward side?
There are many posts on here for PEMBs that I looked through. If there is an appropriate thread, please reply with it for me to review.

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
