we have an old foundation with (5)14" x 14" x 3'-8 high piers
which we plan to reuse at a loading of 65k max at one pier
an old drawing shows the pier to have (4) #6 dowels in the corners and #4 pier ties at 8" spacing. does this sound right? footer is 2'-0 thk and yields a soil pressure of 1570...
This question was put to me from a colleague who watched a special on the hoover dam that concrete was still fluid in the center of that large monolithic pour. I said didn't believe this was the case because curing would still take place regardless of its location or quantity. Comments?
