Engineered solutions for masonry foundations are not currently available from Simpson Strong-Tie. However the C-SF10 Strong Frame Ordinary Moment Frame catalog does provide the tension and shear reactions of each frame for use by the Designer to design alternate foundations. Prescriptive solutions for masonry foundations are provided in the wall bracing portion of the website.
