Claims16
A system to improve building foundation site soil moisture stability, comprising;
- a water permeable soil moisture stabilization material that improves the soil's ability to retain and transport moisture;
- at least one zone at the building foundation site that comprises a liquid delivery means for delivering liquid to a liquid distribution means, wherein the building foundation on the building foundation site has a surface and an outside edge;
- a liquid distribution system comprising a trench or hole(s) disposed on the building foundation site, the trench or hole(s) containing the water permeable soil moisture stabilization material disposed adjacent the foundation;
- and
- a liquid retarding barrier placed on at least one side of the trench or hole(s).
A system to improve a building foundation site soil moisture stability, comprising;
- a water permeable soil moisture stabilization material that improves the soil's ability to retain and transport moisture, and
- comprising a controllable liquid delivery means to supply moisture to the soil moisture stabilization material comprising a water source and conduit for delivery, wherein the liquid delivery means is controlled by controllers activated directly or remotely utilizing criteria from the group consisting of preset intervals, moisture level of the soil in the vicinity of the section, annual season and rainfall.
A system to improve a building foundation site soil moisture stability, comprising;
- a water permeable soil moisture stabilization material comprising the mineral pozzolan that improves the soil's ability to retain and transport moisture;
- a controllable liquid delivery means to supply moisture to the soil moisture stabilization material comprising a water source and conduit for delivery, and identifying markers placed in the soil moisture stabilization material selected from the group consisting of RFID chips, tags, small unique plastic pieces, beads, and distinctive granular material.
A method for stabilizing the moisture content of soil located on a building site, the soil having a surface and a subsurface and a moisture content, the method comprising:
- applying a water permeable soil moisture stabilization material to improve the soil's ability to retain and transport moisture, said stabilization material located adjacent a building foundation, and placing a liquid retardant barrier adjacent the location of the moisture stabilization material.
