Building Foundation Perimeter Requirements
Building Foundation Perimeter Requirements
(OP)
Hello,
For a steel building, what determines the outside-to-outside dimension of the foundation, in other words in the picture shown? How do you determine the appropriate dimensions for the distance labeled in "?" Is there a code requirement regarding this (US/CA) ?

However, for shallow foundations like your example, I would anticipate that would be determined by the overturning capacity of the foundation to resist the applied loading.

They can be satisfied with little to no offset, but its more efficient to extend the footing beyond the girt line.
