are a large concrete slab which can support a number of columns and walls. The slab is spread out under the entire building or at least a large part of it which lowers the contact pressure compared to the traditionally used strip or trench footings.]]> 2017-01-23 14:10:03 UTC https://padlet.com/303017/5jpib8yomfo/wish/148709975 303017 https://padlet.com/303017/5jpib8yomfo/wish/148710747 PILE FOUNDATION

They are a form of spread foundation formed by rectangular, square, or sometimes circular concrete

Strip foundations are used where the soil is of good bearing capacity.
The key sizes of a strip foundation for concrete cavity wall construction and timber frame cavity wall construction are similar.
