The cement can also include a ground facing surface oriented horizontally and configured to contact a ground support surface.
Claims23
A structure comprising backfill and a cement form that comprises:
- a first portion defining a ground facing surface that extends horizontally and that contacts a ground surface;
- a second portion defining a cement facing surface that extends upward from the first portion and that is configured to contact, support, and form a volume of cement that is poured into the structure;
- and
- an intermediate portion defining an inclined surface extending upward:
- (i) at an angle relative to the ground facing surface and the cement facing surface and (ii) in a direction from the ground facing surface towards the cement facing surface, wherein the ground facing surface, the cement facing surface, and the inclined surface define at least a substantially triangular cross-section of the structure along an entire length of the structure;
- wherein:
- at least a portion of the cement form is covered by the backfill;
- and
- the cement form includes a foam material.
