Structural Design of Foundations for Home Inspectors
A foundation transfers the load of a structure to the earth and
resists loads imposed by the earth. A foundation in residential
construction may consist of a footing, wall, slab, pier, pile, or a
combination of these elements. In this inspection training article,
we'll discuss the following foundation types: - crawlspace;
- basement;
- slab-on-grade with stem wall;
- monolithic slab;
- piles;
- piers; and
- alternative methods.
The most common residential foundation materials are concrete masonry (i.e., concrete block) and cast-in-place concrete. Preservative-treated wood, precast concrete, and other methods may also be used. The concrete slab on grade is the most popular foundation type in the Southeast; basements are the most common type in the East and Midwest. Crawlspaces are common in the Northwest and Southeast. Pile foundations are commonly used in coastal flood zones to elevate structures above flood levels, in weak or expansive soils to reach a stable stratum, and on steeply sloped sites. |
