Abstract
A raised foundation system for supporting a prefabricated real property structure having a downwardly facing mounting structure. The system includes a slab having footers; for each footer, a column attached thereto; a plurality of elongated main braces attached to the columns; a plurality of elongated lateral braces attached to the main braces; and at least one auxiliary brace attached to a lateral brace and to either another lateral brace or a main brace. At least two of the main braces extend along a plane or another plane. The main and lateral braces form an upwardly facing mounting structure configured to attach to the downwardly facing mounting structure.
Claims6
A raised foundation system for supporting a prefabricated real property structure having a downwardly facing mounting structure configured to be moved and directly placed on said raised foundation system, said system comprising:
- a slab having a plurality of footers formed therein;
- for each footer, a column attached thereto;
- a plurality of elongated main braces, with each main brace having a first main brace end attached to one of said columns and a second main brace end attached to another of said columns;
- a plurality of elongated lateral braces, with each lateral brace having a first lateral brace end attached to one of said main braces and a second lateral brace end attached to another of said main braces;
- and
- at least one auxiliary brace having a first auxiliary brace end attached to one of said lateral braces and a second auxiliary brace end attached to one of another of said lateral braces and a respective main brace, and said at least one auxiliary brace extends diagonally from the one of said lateral braces;
- wherein at least two of said main braces extend along a plane, each of said lateral braces extend along one of the plane and another plane parallel to the plane, and said main and lateral braces form an upwardly facing mounting structure configured to attach to the downwardly facing mounting structure and to support the prefabricated real property structure.
