I hope this isn’t a stupid question, but if you’re taking decently loaded post/column forces to a brick or block pier, do any of you figure out the compressive stresses on the pier, and if you do where do you get the allowable stress from? Or is it that it’s more than the soil can take anyway under a 2’x 2′(for example) footing.
As usual, thanks for your replies, David
