Inadequate shallow foundations
A research study of damage to houses in Winnipeg, Canada, revealed that 94 percent had suffered some distress from shifting of the shallow-footings foundations; the houses are of the typical Canadian pattern with basement areas. Discussed here are the details of the design study, with cost analyses, of five main foundation methods; the 'best buy', it is concluded, would be an optimised pile system, with basement walls designed as grade beams, supporting a timber main floor.
