Shoring Code/Guidelines? (Residential Foundation Replacement)
Shoring Code/Guidelines? (Residential Foundation Replacement)
(OP)
In general, are there any guidelines/requirements for shoring up a house during foundation repair/replacement? All I could find from OSHA was for trenching. Would ASCE 37 provide any usefull information?
Thanks!

- 5 people in one room at 200 pounds each is 1000 pounds; that in a room of 12'x10' is only 8.3 psf... so you see what i mean for realistic live loads.

Make sure you can get that load down to the earth... for underpinning we typically work in 4'-6' spaces where that amount is unsupported, repaired, loaded, then go to next 5' long area... or do 5' every 15 feet so there are 10' Original conditions between work sites.
