TYPE V SHEET
ONE STORY CONSTRUCTION ONLY
Type V construction is a classification of builidings by construction materials and methods. It is the
least restrictive permitted by the Uniform Building Code and includes light, wood-frame
construction. This sheet is for information and reference only and is not a substitute for accurate
drawings prepared for each proposed construction project. LA City’s Type V-sheet is the same as
the attached Type V sheet by LARUCP except hereby clarified with respect to note 5 on “Footings
on Expansive Soils”.
FOOTINGS ON EXPANSIVE SOILS
Footing systems on expansive soil shall be constructed in a manner that will minimize damage
to the structure from movement of the soil.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Depth of footings below the natural and finished grades shall not be less than 24 inches
for exterior and 18 inches for interior footings.
Exterior walls and interior bearing walls shall be supported on continuous footings.
Footings shall be reinforced with four 1/2-inch diameter deformed reinforcing bars. Two
bars shall be placed 4 inches from the bottom of the footing and two bars within 4 inches
from the top of the footing.
Concrete floor slabs on grade shall be placed on a 4-inch fill of coarse aggregate or on a
moisture barrier membrane. The slabs shall be at least 3-1/2 inches thick and shall be
reinforced with ½" diameter deformed reinforcing bars. Reinforcing bars shall be spaced
at intervals not exceeding 16 inches each way.
The soil below an interior concrete slab shall be saturated with a moisture to a depth of 18
inches prior to placing the concrete.
As a covered entity under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the City of Los Angeles does not discriminate on the basis of disability and, upon request, will provide
reasonable accommodation to ensure equal access to its programs, services and activities. For efficient handling of information internally and in the internet, conversion to this
new format of code related and administrative information bulletins including MGD and RGA that were previously issued will also allow flexibility and timely distribution of
information to the public.
