Foundation design for private houses on difficult soils

Around Kazan many plots have soft clays, peat or seasonal frost heave. I design shallow foundations – slabs, strip footings and insulated Swedish slabs – that suit the actual soil instead of a standard solution. - Review of soil investigation - Choice of foundation type - Calculations for bearing and settlement - Drawings for the builder If there is no soil data yet, I will tell you what minimum investigation is needed.
