Cabin Foundation
will be adding the cabin soon

This design places all the weight from the cabin above, inflicting sheer stress on bolts. Way stronger than screws but why use sheer strength to hold up a load?. It would be %100 stronger by having the running beams on top of the posts. Point load is then on the direct support. Unless the structure isn't heavy, then this will work fine. If you have a whole bunch of filled up beer fridges, put your weight on top of those posts.

I agree. You could make a cut out (notch) on the wood posts that fitted the beams.

Notching reduces strength of post

@michaelvangundy226 4 жыл бұрын

If you are serious about building then learn some basic formula. Soil holds about 1500 pounds per square foot. If it is very compact and un desturbed then up to 2500. Wood has its main strength in compression. It stacks well on top of the next. If you hang a structural member use an engineered product. Otherwise it will only be as strong as the reduced depth of the member. Wood today will rot if buried or set in concrete. Again use an engineered bracket correctly. A floor and roof combined will put 40 dead and 100 live for the floor, and 20 dead and 45 live for the roof. So a pattern of 6x5 footings will hold 205 pounds per square foot on a bearing wall. A 2x2 footing can support 6000 pounds. That's about 30 square feet. Point loads will need to be supported. A large window or door frame in a bearing wall will transfer load directly to the king studs. These will need a vertical support to the footings. The length of a horizontal member and the depth is directly related to the load. There are charts available but many are way to long. For ballpark figures a floor beam is 4x6 supported every 6 feet. A floor joist of 2x10 supported every supported every 12 feet. A ceiling joist of 5 feet is 2x6. If insulated use a truss to allow for ventilation. The truss members need supporting by webbing. A horizontal 2x4 hanging sheetrock needs to be no longer than 5 foot if using good wood. A pitched roof member is up to 6 feet. Don't forget hold down straps and diagonal bracing. The amount depends on seismic and wind loads for your area.

I found your video searching for how to videos for raised foundations for a cabin we want to put up near a lake where flooding is a concern. I know you said you are practicing but what is the dimensions of your practice foundation? We aren't sure of the distance between supports. This is really easy to understand. Gives us something to work from.

@guest-gsP2H5jkv4fsG 3 жыл бұрын

Column foundation is taking load vertically. the load on slab are taken it to the bolts. The bolts connect beam and column foundation taken too much shear force. Bolt should take tension not shear force.

@ianpatrickgentles3905 Жыл бұрын

I don't know... First of all, I wouldn't be comfortable with carriage bolts supporting the ends of the joists. The posts should be notched in this case. Also, I'm not understanding the logic behind sistering the broken span of joists in their centers with another 2-by. Why aren't the joists long enough to meet and then overlap side-by-side over a girder? And, the plywood subfloor panels should meet at their seems on top of a joist as opposed to seen here with one of them flopping free without a nailer underneath. Just my two (fairly educated) cents. I hate to be one of those keyboard criticizers of everything everybody else creates on their channels, but there was too much that didn't seem right here. But hey, there are other ways of doing things. Maybe this is form another country with completely different codes and standards?

@willlywillly Жыл бұрын

I made a cartoon. Never intended for anyone to build it. Structural it isn't sound. Please don't build this floor. This system will not meet any building code in any country on earth. Actually I am expert on building codes and use them every single day at work (will let you guess what my profession is). I only seal drawings and not cartoons (are cartoons being sealed now?). I was just seeing what I could do without having any training on making videos. Only put on KZfaq because I could share with some friends about making a video. You need to critique Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse. Maybe you can tell us how Disney World doesn't follow building codes in their movies. Hopefully I will start making videos again but put a disclaimer on the videos not to try this at home.

@ianpatrickgentles3905 Жыл бұрын

@@willlywillly Mr. B, I sincerely apologize if you took my comments the wrong way. I'm a musician/songwriter who puts my music and videos out there regularly and I fully understand the concept of internet trolls who cruelly criticize people's work when they themselves have nothing to offer. Therefor, when I do see something that compels me to critique it, I do it in a respectful manner without insulting or berating the author. Upon rereading my above post, I feel I did that. In fact, in its conclusion, I even conceded that it's just my two cents and there may be other methods shown in your video that I'm not aware of. The reason I commented at all is because I'm also a carpenter who knows that a lot of DIY-ers look to videos like this for an education on how they should go about their own projects. I know you said that this video was simply a training session for yourself and never intended as a guide for budding builders- and that's fine. However, I just felt that anyone unwittingly watching it for educational purposes should also be made aware of its shortcomings. That's all. Again, nothing personal. NOW..... as far as criticizing Bugs Bunny: I don't necessarily take issue with him as much as I do with Elmer Fudd. Were there seriously no other rabbits in the forrest that he could hunt? If I was constantly made a fool by the same damned bunny that many times, I'd have to admit defeat and take my hunting skills (or lack there-of) elsewhere. The same goes for Wile E. Coyote. After about the tenth major malfunction that sent me over a cliff or head-on into a rock wall, I would have to stop buying Acme products- especially when the injury caused by said product left one of my ears partially dangling and making a squeaking noise. -And don't even get me started on Disney. Anyway, best regards. Ian Patrick Gentles

@EvanLouKy 6 жыл бұрын

One thing I would be curious about is if you plan to notch your posts for what I assume are the 2x12 support beams. The end of the beams as animated are relying on the load bearing capacity of the bolts to hold the load of the structure. If you notch the posts that load will be distributed into your anchored posts a little better. That's been a big sticking point in home inspections with regard to decks and preventing collapses with a lot of people potentially walking on them at once. This is holding a whole cabin. Also, do the beams not secure in the center of the structure? Looks like they're just going to rest on the concrete pilings? I'd be interested to see what else you've come up with in the year plus since this was posted.

Faulty construction, no support, don't hang the weight of the structure on some bolts, wrong, wrong, wrong!! put in two beams say 3- 2 X 8's over columns reduce the columns/footings to 8 and then lay floor joist over the beams the footings are over-designed, the connections under-designed, no columns in concrete and soil (outside rows of wood columns), they will rot... Extremely poor design and lousy engineering practice !!
