Design Guide for Frost-Protected Shallow Foundations

The frost-protected shallow foundation technique (FPSF) is an innovative building technology that offers both lower initial costs & increased energy savings. Although it is new to the U.S., it has been used effectively in Scandinavia in more than one million homes for the last 40 years. FPSFs save money over conventional designs by requiring less excavation to construct a frost-proof foundation. A simplified design method is presented in a form suitable for adoption by the major model building codes. 21 tables & figures.Crandell, Jay H. is the author of 'Design Guide for Frost-Protected Shallow Foundations', published 1995 under ISBN 9780788116117 and ISBN 0788116118.
