Install Footings <br /> As the location and load for each support is determined, note it on the sketch. When select- <br /> ing locations for supports. keep in mind that increasing the spacing between supports will <br /> increase the load on that support and the size of the required footing <br /> DETERMINE LOCATIONS <br /> Point loads exist where a bearing/structural weight is concentrated and transferred to the <br /> foundation at a specific point. Locate a support under each point load, including the follow- <br /> ing examples. <br /> • Exterior doors in side walls at both sides of each door(blocking is not required at <br /> exterior doors in end walls supported by the steel header) <br /> • Other exterior wall openings four feet and greater at both sides of each opening <br /> (including multiple windows that total four feet wide or more without intermediate <br /> supports. even If individual windows are less than four feet). <br /> • Marriage line openings four feet or greater at both sides of each opening. <br /> • Locations where through-the-rim crossover ducts penetrate the rim joist at the mar- <br /> riage line(unless otherwise noted in supplemental documents provided with the <br /> home or unless the home is constructed with a perimeter frame system). <br /> • Marriage line columns. <br /> • Load-bearing porch posts. <br /> • On each side of factory installed fireplaces when located on the exterior sidewalls <br /> or marriage walls(except when supported by the steel header). <br /> Adjustable outriggers may only oe used to replace piers below exterior door or window open- <br /> ings less than 48"and below factory installed fireplaces located on the exterior sidewalls or <br /> marriage walls. Adjustable outriggers may only be used at these locations when local codes <br /> permit the use of these devices and they are installed according to the manufacturer's instal- <br /> lation instructions. Adjustable outriggers are not an acceptable replacement for perimeter <br /> supports on homes requiring perimeter blocking Factory installed outriggers and cross- <br /> members may also replace piers below exterior door or window openings less than 48". <br /> Mark the required point load support locations on the sketch. Supports are not required <br /> where the manufacturer has reinforced the floor(such as with additional outriggers or floor <br /> joists)and so noted in the documentation provided with the home. <br /> DOOR OR OPENING LESS <br /> THAN 48 IN.IN WIDTH COMBINED SPAN(A+B) <br /> RIDGEBEAM <br /> COLUMN POST OR WALL; ; <br /> I, Y LESS THAN 16 IN.IN WIDTH Figure 7.

For each support, find <br /> the table with the appropriate section width Then, find the row with the appropriate roof load zone <br /> and the column corresponding to the span(see Figure 7 for guidance on determining spans—if <br /> a support is shared by spans on both sides. add the respective loads together to arrive at the total <br /> load under that paint) The number in the intersecting cell is the load. <br /> Nate the required loads next to each point load support on the sketch. <br /> I <br />
