Foundation School


MLR1907

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I am just starting to look at the potential of a self build and am wanting to school myself in all the different options. I understand the importance of specialists however I always like to have a good understanding of what they are talking about and this will likely be a project in which I am very hands on. So, I am looking for recommendations of a good info source on learning about  foundation types please. Books, websites etc all welcome.

 

thanks

Obvious,  but sincere and well-meant .... buildhub. 

You can usefully spend at least a month reading here. Yes, many threads go off at tangents,  but often asides are useful in themselves.  

 

If I were to start again I'd spend time writing summaries of the threads that interested me,  and then follow any links provided there. I don't have time to dig it out now,  but one thread here deals with passive slabs,  and that in turn lead to a paper by Hillard Tanner, us working together and a suggestion from him which lead to a very substantial saving on the cost of piles. 

 

Oh, welcome ?!
