1. The test
				  probe is a device for measuring the torque of soils to assist in evaluating the
				  holding capacity of the soils in which the anchor is placed. The test probe has
				  a helix on it. The overall length of the helical section is 10.75 inches; the
				  major diameter is 1.25 inches, the minor diameter is 0.81 inches; the pitch is
				  1.75 inches. The shaft must be of suitable length for anchor depth.
2. A measure synonymous with the moment of a
				  force when distributed around the shaft of the test probe.
3. Below these values a registered
				  professional engineer must be consulted.
4. A C-4 anchor must be used unless the soil
				  is tested with a soil test probe and the readings allow for another soil type
				  anchor to be used.

(10/16/2009) › Rule 19-7-5.06 - Installation Standards For Used Factory-Built Homes › Section 19-7-5.06.5 - Soil Type/Bearing Capacity

Current through June 25, 2024
Under the Federal Standards, manufacturers are only
					 required to provide one acceptable method for installing the home. However,
					 manufacturers usually provide installation instructions that can be applied to
					 a number of sites. These "generic" instructions commonly specify a minimum
					 acceptable bearing capacity of the soil. Additionally, the manufacturer may
					 offer options for acceptable footing sizes based on the bearing capacity of the
					 soil. Installer/transporters and inspection personnel should first determine
					 the bearing capacity of the soil in order to determine the proper size footing
					 or foundation. Different soil types will have different bearing and holding
					 capacities. The bearing capacity of the soil is the load per unit area that can
					 be supported safely by the ground. The performance of the ground anchor is also
					 related to the soil's holding capacity. In the absence of borings, test pits,
					 and other soil investigations that provide information on the proposed site,
					 the following description of soil types in Table II may be used for homes
					 installed in Mississippi.

*Note: The above table may be used if the soil
					 characteristics are known. If the soil type is unknown, the following resources
					 may be consulted to determine the soil type/bearing capacity:
(a) LAHJ;
(b) Soil conservation district;
(c) United Sates Geological Survey;
(d) The Resource Conservation
				  Agency of the U. S. Department of Agriculture;
(e) Highway Department;
(f) Qualified Professional Engineer; and/or
(g) Other methods approved by the
				  Commissioner.
In lieu of determining the soil bearing capacity by the
					 use of the methods described above, an allowable bearing capacity of 2000 psf
					 may be used unless the site-specific information requires the use of lower
					 values based on soil classification and soil type.

Current through June 25, 2024
A. All used
				  Factory-Built homes require diagonal ties to restrict the unit from being
				  pushed from the main support piers. These diagonal ties also restrict
				  overturning of the structure. Additional over the top tie downs or vertical
				  side wall tie downs to restrict overturning are required by some Factory-Built
				  home installations. When a used Factory-Built home is relocated (secondary
				  siting)
all
of the original diagonal and vertical tie downs for
				  the wind zone designation of the home must be reinstalled.
B. Piers or load-bearing supports or devices
				  shall be designed and constructed to evenly distribute the loads. The maximum
				  pier loads are listed in Table III and Table IV. Piers shall be securely
				  attached to each I-beam of the Factory-Built home and shall extend at least six
				  (6) inches from the centerline of the I-beam. Other types of load-bearing
				  supports or devices shall be listed or approved for the use intended.

						at the installation site and to ensure that the proper class of anchor is
						installed for the existing type of soil. The acceptable method for the
						determination of the soil classification is by a soil test probe. The soil
						classifications shown in Table I are the accepted standards of this Regulation
						and are to be used for the purpose of determining the design loads,
						specifications and holding power of anchors and tie down devices for

						anchor types based on the anchor manufacturer's installation and/or user manual
						requirements. However,
all
of the soil test probe torque values
						and the depth readings obtained at the installation site, including the
						computed average reading, shall be recorded on the Property Locator/Certificate

					 withstanding 4,750 lbs. of pull without failure may be approved by the
					 Factory-Built Home Division of the State Fire Marshal's Office as equivalent to
					 above specifications.
E. All
					 ground anchors installed in a vertical position having frame tie connections
					 shall have approved stabilizer plates, stabilizer caps, concrete collar, or
					 other approved stabilizer devices installed to resist horizontal movement. The
					 stabilizer device must be installed according to the manufacturer's
					 instructions and the top of the device must be flush with the surface of the
					 soil. If a concrete cap is used it must be a minimum of 10" in diameter and 18"
					 deep. Exception: Stabilizer plates are not required with coral anchors or at
					 centerline or marriage wall locations.
F. Anchors must be installed to full depth
					 with the bottom of the anchor head within one (1) inch of the soil's
					 surface.
G. The "Standard Method of
					 Test for Manufactured Home Anchors, Parts A and B" is described in the Federal
					 Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards,
					 24 CFR Section
