R403.1.7.1 Building Clearances From Ascending Slopes

Residential Code 2015 of Utah > 4 Foundations > R403 Footings > R403.1 General > R403.1.7 Footings on or Adjacent to Slopes > R403.1.7.1 Building Clearances From Ascending Slopes
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
In general, buildings below slopes shall be set a sufficient distance from the slope to provide protection from slope drainage, erosion and shallow failures. Except as provided in Section R403.1.7.4 and Figure R403.1.7.1, the following criteria will be assumed to provide this protection. Where the existing slope is steeper than one unit vertical in one unit horizontal (100-percent slope), the toe of the slope shall be assumed to be at the intersection of a horizontal plane drawn from the top of the foundation and a plane drawn tangent to the slope at an angle of 45 degrees (0.79 rad) to the horizontal. Where a retaining wall is constructed at the toe of the slope, the height of the slope shall be measured from the top of the wall to the top of the slope.


For SI: 1 foot = 304.8 mm.
