Results for tag: "Shallow Foundation"

Shallow foundations are a type of foundation used in construction that transfers the load of a structure to the soil at a shallow depth. They are typically used for small, low-rise buildings, such as single-family homes, and are usually constructed from reinforced concrete or masonry. Shallow foundations are typically cheaper and easier to install than deep foundations, and are less likely to be affected by changes in soil moisture. Shallow foundations are used in a variety of construction projects, from residential homes to commercial buildings. They are also used in the construction of bridges, retaining walls, and other structures. In addition, shallow foundations are often used in areas with poor soil conditions, such as areas with high water tables or expansive soils.

Griffin Wrecking Company, and E.S. Wagner Company. Show Less Read more
