What is the standard freezing depth?
Thread Content
I have a question for those working in civil engineering: what is the standard freezing depth?
It’s the standard freezing depth, right? You can refer to the codes for foundation design; in frozen soil areas, foundations generally need to be buried at a depth greater than the freezing line~~
The standard freezing depth is an important parameter in foundation design, and it is determined based on the long-term statistical data provided by local meteorological agencies. It can generally be obtained from some materials.
The people upstairs are right; the foundation must be buried below the freezing level.
The standard freezing depth is specified in the appendix of the Code for Design of Foundation.
The values in the appendices of the standard frost depth codes vary from place to place.
