example 1

[0038] The present invention seeks to provide a foundation 100 having a strength substantially greater than that of existing slab, raft or pile foundations. According to the invention, a light but strong foundation is used to protect itself and the above by providing a rigid base capable of bridging without significant deformation to the space formed behind (which may self-collapse or expand laterally) building. Soil uplift is a common phenomenon in permafrost regions and requires a strong foundation that can rest on the soil uplift without structural failure. If the overall mass or weight of the building and its foundations is not too great, and the foundation has sufficient volume, buoyancy should prevent the building from sinking into the soil during the "liquefaction" process. It was the inventor's aim to provide a building, or at least a foundation for a building, which can be lifted and brought back to level after a soil movement event and which is relatively less likel...

example 2

[0054] This example describes a molded plastic foundation with a similar design to that of Example 1: wide upper surface, wide lower surface, with walls and internal ribs separating the two to provide a much larger foundation than existing foundations. strength. In some existing rotationally molded houses no floor structure is provided at all. In this example, the foundation is preferably made in one or several parts by a rotational molding process similar to that using thermoplastic material in an externally heated rotational mold. Because plastic materials have inherent tensile strength, embedded tensile reinforcement is usually not required.

[0055] exist Figure 4 shows a vertical section of a rotationally molded house 400 according to a previous patent application, secured by fasteners 410 to a foundation 401 according to the invention and comprising one or more built-in space. The reservoir can be used for storage of any fluid that can coexist with the reservoir wal...

Abstract

One or more modules are each moulded as single units. Separately or fastened together they form a foundation resistant to ground movement including earthquakes and frost heave. A lower plane rests on a substrate. Perimeter and internal walls support a raised upper plane for receiving a building such as a rotationally moulded round house. Modules are made of reinforced concrete or rotationally moulded plastics and enclose internal cavities used as tanks or filled with a rigid foam. Lifting attachments are provided for transport of modules or temporary foundation lifting during rearrangement of a disturbed substrate.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to base structures for buildings, preferably but not exclusively prefabricated modular buildings, wherein the base structure or foundation cushion provides effective support for the building or buildings on soil or other Soil movement caused by seismic activity or freezing is relatively barrier. Background technique [0002] The inventors have published numerous inventions for circular plan houses with a diameter of around 5 meters produced by rotational molding of fusible plastic material in a rotary furnace in a single molding process. The inventor's International Publication No. PCT / NZ2008 / 000096 describes the apparatus and process. Later developments included the assembly of straight and curved panels to create multiple, larger enclosed spaces. [0003] All types of homes need solid foundations at all times. There have been many reports of substrate failure, commonly referred to as liquefaction, and more accurately ...
