For a one-story wood-frame dwelling on stable soil with no deeper frost-line requirement, what is the MINIMUM depth below the undisturbed ground surface to the bottom of an exterior footing?
a.6 inches
b.9 inches
c.12 inches
d.24 inches
Giải thích
The prescriptive minimum is 12 inches below the undisturbed ground surface, which places the bearing surface below loose surface soils. A local frost line may require going deeper, but 12 inches is the baseline. 6 and 9 inches are too shallow to reliably reach firm bearing, and 24 inches exceeds the minimum for this case.
