9.36.2.2. — Foundations

(1) Continuous perimeter foundation walls are not required, but when they are provided, they shall comply with the requirements of this Part.

(2) Where unit masonry columns are used, the height of such columns shall not exceed,

(a) in the case of hollow masonry units, 4 times the least dimension of the units,

(b) in the case of solid masonry units or hollow units with voids filled with concrete, 10 times the least dimension of the column, or

(c) where the column is reinforced with at least four 13 mm diameter bars and filled with concrete, 18 times the least dimension of the column.

(3) Columns in excess of the height limitations of Clauses (2)(a) to 2(c) shall be designed in accordance with Part 4.

Editor's note

As filed in O. Reg. 350/06, Sentence (3) cites 'Clauses (2)(a) to 2(c)', with a stray '2' before the closing '(c)'; the consolidated e-Laws text renders the range end in the standard form 'to (c)'. No amending regulation makes this change; the as-filed wording is retained here.
