Section 27-659. Foundations at different levels  


Latest version.
  • Where footings are supported
      at  different  levels,  or  at  different  levels  from  the footings of
      adjacent structures, the influence of the  pressures  under  the  higher
      footings  on  the  stability  of the lower footings shall be considered.
      Consideration shall be given to the requirements for lateral support  of
      the material supporting the higher footings, the additional load imposed
      on  the  lower  footings,  and  assessment of the effects of dragdown on
      adjacent pile-supported buildings.
