Abstract

A method of constructing a shallow pier foundation building that includes a) placing a plurality of insulating pier forms along a perimeter of the building; b) placing a plurality of insulating concrete forms between the insulating piers to form a continuous insulating surface to the surrounding soil and a continuous forming surface to provide a slab form; c) placing a concrete composition in the insulating piers and insulating concrete forms and allowing the concrete composition to cure and harden; and d) placing a concrete slab composition in the slab form and allowing the concrete composition to cure and harden.

Description

REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

[0001] The present nonprovisional patent application is entitled to and claims the right of priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. Nos. 61 / 027,532, filed Feb. 11, 2008 and 61 / 074,173, filed Jun. 20, 2008, which are hereby incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] 1. Field of the Invention

[0003] The present invention is directed to systems, methods and articles for constructing a shallow pier foundation building and in particular, to such systems and methods that utilize wall forming systems and / or insulating concrete walls to construct structures.

[0004] 2. Description of the Prior Art

[0005] In home and building construction, exterior grade beams, or footings, are often utilized which are formed in ditches, or the like, to support the exterior walls of the building. These concrete grade beams are often poured in conjunction with a continuous slab, which extends in the area betwee...
