what will this structure be used at? A house, a wharehouse, im curious. Also what region of the world? Im interested in the footing, and what sort of ground conditions it is designed for.
Where we live, we have to factor in seismic and flood conditions. So everything is elevated on stilts, and the stilts have wide "feet" to stabilize the house in case of earthquake
I'm in the inland northwest of the US near Spokane, Washington. No major seismic concerns. Unless you build near rivers, flooding isn't a worry. Frost depth is 18-24" typically. Snow loads on the roof are a real concern, as is wind, but no hurricanes or tornadoes.
that's fascinating! I never designed anything for snow load, or frost.
Please keep this content series alive, I really enjoy studying these blueprints.
