DESIGN PRINCIPLES4.1 GENERALIn regions of seasonal ground freezing, shallo
26、wfoundations not extending below the design frost depthshall be protected against frost heave by one or moreof the following methods:1. use of nonfrost-susceptible layers of undisturbedground or fill materials (Section 4.2);2. insulation of foundations to mitigate frost penetra-tion and effects of f
27、rost heave (Section 4.3); or3. approved design and details supported by engineer-ing analysis.4.1.1 Bearing CapacityThe allowable bearing capacity of the undisturbedsoil, fill materials, or insulating materials supportingthe foundation shall be equal to or greater than thestructural loads imposed by
28、 the building in accordancewith the local building code or engineering analysis.The foundation depth, as measured from finished gradeto bottom of footing, shall be the greater of that re-quired by this Standard or that required for adequatebearing capacity on soil or fill. The foundation depth,as me
29、asured from finished grade to bottom of footing,shall not be less than 12 inches (0.3 m).4.1.2 DrainageThe site shall be graded to drain surface wateraway from foundation walls, in accordance with localbuilding code provisions or approved practice. In soilsother than GW, GP, SW, SP, GM, and SM (Unif
30、iedSoil Classification System, ASTM D2487), a layer ofscreened and washed gravel or crushed stone shall beplaced beneath the horizontal insulation and drained todaylight, or an approved foundation drainage systemshall be provided.4.1.3 CompactionFill materials shall be placed and compacted in ac-cor
31、dance with an approved design or approved prac-tice. An approved design shall be required for fill ma-terials that support foundation loads and are more than12 inches (0.3 m) thick or vary in thickness by morethan 6 inches (0.15 m).4.1.4 Insulation ProtectionVertical insulation placed externally on
32、foundationwalls or along edges of slab-on-ground floors shallhave an opaque and weather-resistant protective cover-ing to mitigate degradation of thermal performancefrom ultraviolet radiation, physical damage, or othersources of deterioration. Protective coverings or coat-ings shall be compatible wi
33、th the insulation materialand extend a minimum of 6 inches (0.15 m) below fin-ished grade. Polystyrene insulation shall not be ex-posed to petroleum-based products. Horizontal insula-tion placed less than 12 inches (0.3 m) below theground surface, or any portion extending outward morethan 24 inches
34、(0.6 m) from the foundation edge, shallbe protected against damage by concrete or asphaltpavement on the ground surface directly above the in-sulation by cementitious board or plywood rated forbelow-ground use, or by other approved materialsplaced directly on the top surface of the insulation.4.1.5
35、Termite ProtectionBuildings with underground foam insulation ingeographic areas subject to termite infestation withstructural members constructed of materials suscepti-ble to termite damage shall comply with local build-ing code requirements for termites and shall be pro-tected against termite infes
