I have a situation where my client wants to add an entire second floor to his existing home. The home is a single story rambler built in the 70's with a 16" wide footing.
Per IRC2000, the footing will have to be at least 19" wide. When I apply the PLF loading from the new second floor, my calc's say the footing needs to be 24" wide.
How do we add the additional 8" (16" + 8" = 24") to the existing footing?
