Re: Addition to a building on floating slab

Text of the message: |
In a previous post BobInWisc says... > I'm contemplating having a 3-season cabin shell put up by a (mostly) > garage-building firm that only builds on slab-on-grade (no frost footings). > The site is on gently sloping sandy soil in NW Wiscsonsin. If I add to it > at some time -- a deck, another room, etc -- what problems are likely? > Can I build on posts anchored below frost line? On piers just resting on > the gound? Do I need to extend the slab? Pour an adjacent slab? > Bob: The fact that it is 3-season is immaterial. Over time it is quite likely that the building will exhibit the problems of frost heave, which you will ultimately have to correct. I recommend that you find a different contractor or that you at least have someone else put in a proper foundation, the the "cabin" guys can build on top of that. -- Bob Morrison, PE, SE R L Morrison Engineering Co Structural & Civil Engineering |
