ASCE 7 Foundation Ties SDC D
ASCE 7 Foundation Ties SDC D
(OP)
Foundation ties area required in high seismic to restrain top of shaft foundations from rotation or lateral movement. I intrepret this to mean not only shafts supporting columns of LFRS but any columns that may just be part of a gravity system; do you agree?
Interested in others experience in viability of demonstrating adequate lateral capacity from soil without foundation ties (no slab exists either) for isolated drilled shafts for SDC D?

That sounds like a poor excuse for an attempt to circumvent the intention of the requirement.

I don't know, I'm not a geotech and that is why I suggested consulting with their geotech. But that was an option that was given at that site by that particular geotechnical engineer.

There are actually provisions that allow for this in IBC Chapter 18 in some instances. Perhaps you should take a look.

IBC allows this to be waved if you have slab present that is used as a tie or if you're in competent rock, hard cohesive soils or very dense granular soils. Assume that's the direction the geotechnical engineer on haynewp's project was going in. My first impression would be you'd need to replace more than just the 5-6 feet around the pile caps , but I'm no geotechnical engineer.
