Monolithic Foundation System For Buildings And Form Therefor
US Patent:
4783935, Nov 15, 1988
Filed:
Aug 6, 1986
Appl. No.:
6/894219
Inventors:
William B. Creager - Glendale AZ
International Classification:
E04B 116
US Classification:
52 98
Abstract:
This invention relates to a method of constructing a footing and a foundation wall thereon, and form therefore in a hardenable building material for use in a continuous, perimeter type building foundation. An improved shape for the footing and foundation wall is disclosed which allows the use of a novel formwork system, thus permitting both elements to be cast simultaneously in a monolithic arrangement. Additionally, the cast shape of the foundation system is such that the basic function of transmitting superimposed building loads to the earth is an improvement over the more traditional types of foundation systems. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, much of the formwork is expendable and is permanently left in place, being removed only where visable in the finished structure.
