    Rock Wall

    Yeah, you're right, the best solution would be replacement of the existing stone foundation wall, however budget constraints are a significant factor here. This is residential. My present objective is to determine if the stone wall will work. The wall is bearing upon a continuous strip footing...

    Rock Wall

    Any idea how to approach the analysis of a 100 year old stone and mortar bearing wall? The wall is approximately 15" thick and roughly 4'-0" high and needs to support a 23 kip column load (total load with live load reduction taken) spaced every 7'-6". Any ideas would be really appreciated. Thanks,

    Simplified Wind, C & C

    How do you address the issue of wind uplift at a roof overhang using this method? Simplified MWFRS has roof overhang uplift loads but not C&C.
