Soil pressure and pile load due to eccentricity shall be computed on the basis of straight line distribution of foundation reaction. However, other modes of distribution of the foundation reaction may be assumed, subject to the approval of the commissioner, if it can be demonstrated that the pile and/or soil is capable of sufficient plastic deformation to develop such mode of distribution without failure.","path":["New York City Administrative Code","Title 27","Chapter 1: Building Code"],"source_url":"https://files.amlegal.com/pdffiles/NewYorkCity/Admin/XML.zip","current_through":"Local Law 2026/135 (enacted August 31, 2026)","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-06T02:48:57Z","sha256":"149e891f9ffb1f2ea330d08f1c5b35c94de964b1078b43b7a8c44798206608a3","source_id":"us-nyc","stale":false,"prev":"us-nyc/n.y.c.-admin.-code-27-670","next":"us-nyc/n.y.c.-admin.-code-27-672"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
