Simple Foundations for Fabric Covered Membrane Clad Buildings
Simple Foundation Preparation Reduces Cost and Increases Flexibility
An advantage for Rubb structures is low cost, fast foundations. Piling is rarely required even on sites where settlement is expected. Rubb requires foundations designed to withstand uplift forces, as opposed to compressive forces. Consequently, a ring beam, or a concrete pad on which to bolt span base plates, is usually sufficient. For short term situations, a steel ring beam equipped with outriggers and ballast weights can be used.
