This question was posed by a CalGeo member:
I am looking to find out if there are members or resources available that can help with pile design for lateral spreading. I am finding that the lateral loads are so high in the crust (passive pressure times 3), the piers are cost prohibitive for single family homes. In the past, we have used mat slabs, but the new code is going to require piles. Any help or guidance is appreciated. |
