If any of you have been or are planning on going to the NASCC, you may have heard of the course "Rules of Thumb for Steel Design" given by Socrates Ioannides of Structural Affiliates International. Well worth the hour and a half. Plus he has a handy pocket quide that he hands out at the end.
Thanks SlideRuleEra. yes the piles are probably going to be good for 10 to 20 tons each which would indicate that there would be more than plenty to hold up the home. I have that download and am familiar with it. Right now he is in the planning stage so we were trying to get off on the right...
