The UBC 97 code allowed you to increase the soil bearing values in the Table 18-1-A by 20% per foot up to 3 times the value in the table (footnote 2). The UBC values are slightly more conservative than the IBC 2000/2003 values in Table 1804.2.
The IBC 2000/2003 codes omit this provision. Is the concept used in the UBC code not valid? Or perhaps, the increase could be modified to use with the IBC values.
I am designing a flagpole nonconstrained footing (IBC 1805.7) for a pipe rack.
Any opinions?
