Aug 30, 2017 · So, the frost depth say 6 ft specified at local code may occur at outside of insulated SOG, but the frost depth below SOG will be around just one ft. I want to add that, if …

Nov 14, 2013 · Here a number of codes do define "frost depth" as required foundation depth for outside walls. However, that "frost depth" can vary considerably, depending on moisture …

Aug 7, 2008 · the depth of frost penetration depends on a lot of things. One factor is the presence of water in the soil. As that material is at 32 degrees, it gives off heat of fusion. That heat …

Dec 1, 2008 · I see a similar condition all the time in my jurisdiction but with 4' frost walls. We're always dealing with expansive clays. Most of he geotechnical reports here will specify floating …

Aug 31, 2015 · Constructing a "frost wall" does nothing for the area under the slab if that zone goes below 32 degrees F. Concrete is a good conductor of heat out of the area under the slab. …
