The soil report recommends the house foundation shall be on spread footings at frost depth. What happens if they have a hard time digging to frost depth due to a very large rock at some areas? I am talking about a solid rock roughly about 16 ft long, 8 ft wide. Not sure how deep it going to be. Can you just form the wall on top of the rock and epoxy dowel into it as opposed to keep digging down (breaking rock) another 2 ft and form 16" wide footing? I should probably just call the soil engineer that wrote the report, but I want to hear what you guys think first.
