Hello, I am currently designing concrete drilled piers, and per the geotech report, the recommendations incur a 1600 psf design stress for potential frost heave. The recommendations also state that placing friction reducing material can be considered as an alternate option to prevent damage...
Frost penetration and frost depth effects are really two different animals. As OldestGuy indicated, even in very cold climates, they recognize that footings do not have to go full depth of frost penetration if they are in non-frost susceptible soil.
It's the same concept as using horizontally projected insulation as a building apron for shallow frost protected footings. That said, you may give consideration to adding insulation or other frost protective measures at the perimeter, where there is a greater chance for frost penetration.
I always hear that the footings have to be placed below the frost depth but does that apply to any footing? For a job where the local code indicates frost depth of 42”, all exterior bldg footings are placed at that depth but when it comes to the exterior stairs, they only go down 18” only!! The...
