1814.1.1 Underpinning and Bracing

NYC Building Code 2014 > 18 Soils and Foundations > 1814 Underpinning and Support of Adjacent Property > 1814.1 General > 1814.1.1 Underpinning and Bracing
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
Underpinning piers, walls, piles and footings shall be designed as permanent structural elements and installed in accordance with provisions of this chapter and Chapter 33 and shall be inspected in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 17. Underpinning shall be designed and installed in such manner so as to limit the lateral and vertical displacement of the adjacent structure to permissible values as established in accordance with Section 1814.3. The sequence of installation and the requirements for sheeting, preloading, wedging with steel wedges, jacking or dry packing shall be identified in the design. The design shall take in account the effects on foundation and structure produced by the lateral earth pressure exerted on the underpinning. Lateral support for underpinning, if needed, shall be accounted for during the design of the new construction. The design and construction sequence of temporary lateral supports used prior to the installation of the foundation walls shall be included on the design drawings.
