Claims19
A building foundation, comprising:
- a plurality of foam pods disposed on a graded surface;
- and
- a concrete structure disposed around the plurality of foam pods.
A method for constructing a building foundation, comprising:
- generating a first user control using a data processing machine to initiate installation of a plurality of foam pods disposed on a graded surface;
- and
- generating a second user interface control after completion of the installation of the plurality of foam pods to initiate installation of a concrete structure disposed around the plurality of foam pods.
A method for forming a building foundation having a plurality of foam pods disposed on a graded surface, a concrete structure disposed around the plurality of foam pods, wherein the plurality of foam pods comprise a plurality of identical foam pods, wherein the plurality of foam pods comprise a polystyrene foam, wherein the plurality of foam pods comprise quadrilateral foam pods, wherein the plurality of foam pods are spaced evenly, a plurality of spacers between the foam pods, a plurality of circular spacers between the foam pods, a plurality of post-tension cables disposed in the concrete structure and a plurality of post-tension cables disposed in the concrete structure at a first level and a second plurality of post-tension cables disposed in the concrete structure at a second level, the method comprising:
- generating a first user control using a data processing machine to initiate installation of a plurality of foam pods disposed on a graded surface;
- generating a second user interface control after completion of the installation of the plurality of foam pods to initiate installation of a concrete structure disposed around the plurality of foam pods;
- wherein the first user control identifies a number of the plurality of foam pods;
- wherein the first user control identifies a number of the plurality of foam pods that remain to be installed;
- wherein the first user control identifies a number of the plurality of foam pods that have already been installed;
- wherein the first user control identifies when the graded surface has been completed;
- wherein the first user control identifies when installation of the plurality of foam pods has been completed;
- wherein the first user control identifies when installation of the plurality of foam pods has been interrupted;
- wherein the first user control identifies when installation of the concrete structure has been completed;
- and
- wherein the first user control identifies when installation of the concrete structure has been interrupted.
