FAQ
What is the default soil bearing capacity?
If you don't have a geotech report, I assume 1,500 psf (pounds per square foot), which is the IBC default for presumptive soils. If you have a geotech report, send it for a more accurate calculation
Do I need a PE stamp for footing calculations?
Many building departments require a PE stamp for structural foundation modifications. I offer a PE stamp for any US state in the Premium package. Check with your local building department.
Can you size footings for a hillside or sloped site?
Yes. Add the "Stepped Footing on Slope Design". I will account for lateral soil pressure, step dimensions, and retaining wall interactions as needed.
Can you verify an existing footing for a new load?
Yes. In the Premium package, I provide a "foundation adequacy letter" that states whether your existing footing can safely support a new load (e.g., adding a second story, heavy equipment, or a new column).
What information do I need to provide?
I need the vertical load on the footing (in pounds or kips), or enough information to calculate it (e.g., "deck supports a 10'x12' platform with 40 psf live load"). Also provide your project address for frost depth and soil assumptions.
