Examples of light floor systems supported on shallow basement walls mentioned in Table 3.2-1 fare floor systems with wood joists and flooring and cold-formed. steel joists without a castin-place concrete floor attached “Expansive soils exist in many regions ofthe United States and may cause serious damage to basement walls unless special design considerations ae provided. Expansive soils should not be ted as backfill Because they ean exer very high pressures against walls. Special soil testing is required to determine the ‘magnitude ofthese pressure. Tc is preferable fo excavate expan- sive sol and backfill with nonexpansive, freely draining sands of sravels. The excavated back slope adjacent tothe wall should be no steeper than 45° from the horizontal to minimize the tans- ‘mission of swelling pressure from the expansive soil trough the new backilll Other special details ae recommended, such as a cap of nonpervious soil on top of the backfill and provision of oundation drains, Refer lo current reference books on geotech- nical engineering for guidance. €3.2.2 Uplift Loads on Floors and Foundations. If expansive sls ae present under floors or footings, large pressures can be exerted and must be resisted by special design. Altematvely, the expansive soil can be removed and replaced with nonexpansive ‘material. A geotechnical engineer should make recommendations in these situations, REFERENCE Terps K and Peck KB (1967) So mechanics in eninering practic, 2nd Bd on Wiley & Sons, Nw York 95 and Other Structures an
