Hi,

I'm a student at a local community college here in West Valley City, Utah. We are assigned a project to build a house from ground up using AutoCad 2009. Anyways, to my question I trying to find out the my local building requirements for my FPSF foundation i.e. depth and width of footing, I know the actual slab needs to be 4", but I can't find the information I am needing. I looking in the IRC 2006 Residental code book and look at West Valley City, Ut website but I can't locate the information.

Any help will be appriciated.

Thanks

Speedy,
Not your local rqmts but many online sources for Frost Protected Shallow Foundations.

The last source might be able to guide you, Good luck, Dave

Thanks you for the information you provided..

Nudura has produced drawings/details for shallow footings, they are general detail and need to be reviewed and approved by an engineer and the local building jurisdiction
