Hello,
I am designing foundation for a warehouse where the level of bedrock is relatively high. Approximately 10 to 15 ft from the final grade.
We will use caisson diameter from 3 to 4 ft. socketed 4 feet into bedrock. I was wondering if i still need to use ties beams considering that caisson are shallow and could act as cantilever columns for lateral loads?
