Bookmark or Share- What codes specify frost depth - Foundation engineering - Eng-TipsI don't believe the codes ever dictate the actual depth. There are publications that report average frost depth for various regions. Generally, we depend upon the geotechnical report to recommend a specific depth. You usually find a common "number" in each city that is used by the vast majority of engineers.

- Concrete Slab on Grade Stair - Structural engineering general ...The part that I get stuck on is what happens right at the threshold. Theoretically, if you get frost heave at that location, the upward force on the connection tying the stair to the main building will be extreme. A good argument for the insulation and/or non-frost susceptible back fill I suppose.
- "Landscaping" Retaining Wall- Frost Depth?Section 1809.5 of IBC 2009 deals with frost depth and leaves most of the requirements up to the local jurisdiction. You may want to look in this section to see if you can work your way out of the requirements for a landscaping retaining wall (it’s up to your interpretation). As far as other types of walls, see the post above.
- Frost Heave Calculation - Foundation engineering | Eng-TipsI view frost as an "infinite" force. If conditions are right for it to form, it can lift just about anything. I don't know of any calculation that will give frost pressure. I've seen published values of 10 tsf, but I believe they are based on back-calculating the pressure required to lift a building where frost heave was observed.
