Ulteig has been retained to provide a structural engineering review of the garage frost wall condition
with an increased stem height at the above residence. Lund Poured Walls is placing the foundation in
accordance with the 2010 Master Foundation Wall Drawings prepared by Ulteig. The stem at the side
of the garage requires additional height for higher grade on the exterior, beyond the limitations of the
Master set. The City is concerned with this condition and is requesting an engineering review. The
following information is noted:
a. The contractor is reportedly placing a typical 8" frost wall with an additional 6" x 24" stem.
b. The interior garage slab will sit on the ledge created by the wall thickness transition at the front of
the garage and may slope up toward the rear.
c. Exterior grade will be kept a minimum of 6" from the top of the stem. Actual grading, site
drainage, and swales are by others.
d. A minimum of one #4 horizontal bar was reportedly placed in the stem. The bar is not required
structurally but is recommended to minimize the widths of naturally occurring shrinkage cracks.
e. A site visit was neither performed nor requested for this review.
f. No other engineering was performed or requested for this project. All construction is to be in
accordance with standard industry practice and the requirements of the Code.
Based on the conditions noted above, the installed frost wall stem condition is structurally adequate
to support all Code required design loads.
