In the building code it sizes column footing pads as per the number of
floors they support.  I can follow this logic in truss roof construction
.  where the load is carried on the outside walls through to the
footings.  In stick frame construction however where roof loads bear
thru to interior columns does this sizing technique still hold true?
Just a question I have along with millions more.
Is there a disscussion group out there that deals with building code
issues?
