Footing Step Requirement 2

[aquacata]

I wonder where I can find the footing step requirements. Thanks for letting me know.

In the 1997 UBC, it is found on Section 1806.4.
2001 CBC based on 1997 UBC, see Section 1806A.4.

Apparently, this is not addressed in the IBC. Check out this link

Go to page 14, Section 1805A.1 for more info. I do not have a copy of 2007 CBC to confirm the final wording in the new code.
