N.J. Admin. Code § 19:6-2.17
Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 11, June 3, 2024
Eccentricity of loading in foundations, including eccentricity of loading or the basis of retaining walls, shall be investigated and the maximum soil pressure or pile load (considering eccentricity) shall be kept within the safe capacity thereof as established in sections 21 and 42 of this subchapter. Soil pressure and pile load due to eccentricity shall be computed on the basis of straight line distribution of foundation reaction. However, other modes of distribution of the foundation reaction may be assumed, subject to the approval of the chief engineer, if it can be demonstrated that the pile and/or soil is capable of sufficient plastic deformation or to develop such mode of distribution without failure.
