Abstract: A fabric formed footing has a column retainer assembly with a post socket and a post socket base. The column retainer assembly is a rigid structural member. A base plate is connected to the post socket. The base plate has a base plate underside opposing a base plate top surface. The base plate is connected to the post socket at the base plate top surface. A moment leg is connected to the base plate. The moment leg is connected to the base plate underside. The moment leg has a moment leg horizontal section, a moment leg vertical section, and a bend between the moment leg horizontal section and the moment leg vertical section. The moment leg vertical section is the portion of the moment leg that is connected to the base plate underside.

Abstract: This improved method of forming a foundation uses a dynamic leveling foundation and method uses a prelevel coplanar support while installing permanent foundation. This improved method starts when a manufactured house arrives at the permanent site. The manufactured house has flooring assembly supported on its underside by horizontal parallel beams or joists that needs firmly grounded foundation support. The temporary support step provides a temporary level support for the manufactured house. When the temporary support is established, the house arrives from the factory. The preferred temporary support is a temporary tripod support system that may be installed under the sidewalls and the mate line. The tripod support system comprises multiple tripods each having a triangular transverse frame to support an extended undercarriage area. Each tripod makes at least two separate supporting abutments with its overlying perimeter joist or mate line joist which reduces total labor time.

Abstract: A temporary tripod support system for use during preparation of the home foundation of concrete piers and the like. At locations along the sidewalls and mate line of home the tripod supports may be installed in a number significantly less than conventional design supports. The tripod support system comprises multiple tripods each having a triangular transverse frame to support an extended undercarriage area. Due to its triangle top, each tripod makes two separate supporting abutments with its overlying straight perimeter or mating line joist at the same time thereby reducing the total number of supporting installations and labors in half.

Abstract: A ground surface cast-in-place foundation assembly adapted to vertically engage a perimeter beam of a level modular housing comprising a buttress assembly that includes a means for seating the perimeter beam, a tubular stanchion having an upper and lower end, an anchor base plate fixedly connected to the lower end of the stanchion and a couple of transverse tabs attached to the intermediate portions of the stanchion; and a flowable and settable foundation material which envelopes at least a portion of the buttress assembly, wherein the foundation material conforms to the shape of a porous fabric container into which it is poured, and it sets with the enveloped portion of the buttress assembly embedded therein.
