<br /> <br />Masonry Pier Foundation <br />In limited cases where the structure character <br />pennitled use of a foundation other than the solid <br />masonry wall. a masonry pier design was used to <br />suppon the raised structure. As shown infigures <br />9 and 10. a residence in the 1\Ig Forte Valley <br />program was raised about II feet on masonry <br />piers, A steel frame structure was designed to span <br />the masonry piers and suppon the existing floor <br />system which was in poor condition from past <br />flooding damages (see figure II). All of the <br />masonry piers were individually designed to fit the <br />structure and the expected hydrostatic and hydro- <br />dynamic loading at the site. <br />The piers were constructed of 8x8x 16- inch <br />concrete block founded on concrete footings. All <br />cells of the block pier were grouted solid. Verucal <br />reinforcing was placed in all piers with ladder style <br />masonry joint reinforcing in alternating horizontal <br />joints, Number 5 reinforcing steel bars were used <br />for footings and verucal reinforcing as shown in <br />figure 12. <br />Utilities were collected into insulated pipe <br />chases constructed to resist the effects of cold <br />weather (see figures 13 and 14). The structure <br />floor was fully insulated to reduce the increased <br />heating demands caused by unimpeded air flow <br />beneath the structure. 1be perimeter of the ma- <br />sonry pier foundation was clad with treated wood <br /> <br /> <br />Figure 9,-House 8evated On Masonry Piers <br /> <br /> <br />Figure 1 a.-House Elevated On Masonry Piers <br /> <br />r. <br />I <br /> <br />~ ~ <br /> <br />r.eH-"'~C-E.O <br />MP?-...oNW <br />"BLoc.\:'.. f'E~7 <br /> <br /> <br />1X1~0E:-~ <br />""""1""''1''''''' <br /> <br />. - <br />~=~ ,,' ' <br />Lj - _-.d ,,-, <br />.J L._.JL..J <br />lou\-pDN OF- ' r;-J <br />ur~lr,' Gl\^",,-~ /- <br /> <br />, ~ <br /> <br />c -, <br /> <br />, " <br /> <br />c..W6'1.Z0"'fYf'. <br /> <br />c , <br /> <br />c , <br /> <br />, " <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />r , <br />I <br />~ L.-: .J <br />.9 <br />N , <br />.:L..
