Been looking at those steel "quonset hut" style buildings often seen used on farms for agricultural storage (i.e. equipment, hay, etc.)
I would use it to garage a boat, RV trailer and a tractor. The sales reps always mention a "floating foundation" as the most frequently used and best balance of cost and function. I am curious about those floating foundations "real world" utility especially after heavy rains saturate the ground and water pools on the surface (not floods - just really wet.) Any experiences with the water table rise causing problems for a floating foundation? All other thoughts and experiences are welcome. |

Soil potiental vertical movement and building loads are the first priority. Soil PVI varies wildly depending on where you are and is site specific. |
