Abstract:
A foundation for securely retaining a factory built structure, such as a mobile home, modular building, or the like, having an underframe including a pair of steel beams, to a land site. The foundation includes a concrete pad with a pair of recesses for containing the axles attached to the underside of the building frame. The pad has cylindrical concrete piers extending through its surface at spaced intervals forming two lines spaced at the same distance as the beams of the underframe. Central cylindrical cavities are formed in each of the piers and are adapted to receive cylinders which extend downwardly from the underside of the frame beams. The undersides of the beams rest on the top surfaces of the piers and downturned flanges attached to the frame beams surround the sides of the piers and restrain the structure against lateral movement.
