Can someone please explain to me the following statement in the IBC:
"When the Su method is used and the Nch and Su criteria differ, select the category with the softer
soils (eg. use Site Class E instead of D)."
I have a pure clay site to bedrock at ~50-ft, Su method says site class C, N-method says site class D. Which should be used according to IBC CODE statement above???
