Abstract

The state-of-the-art in greenhouse foundation installation (zero cycle) is lagging considerably behind that of construction of other surface structures. Any progress in this area can be accomplished by founding the footings in natural formations (composite or monolithic) by pressed-in, or driven, short piles as well as by utilization of fill material such as man-made foundation. Such pile foundation will accelerate construction, permit utilization of inherent strength properties of construction materials and underlying soils, improve the technical reliability of structures (on account of smaller settlement), reduce volume of earthwork, and also reduce the present waste of construction materials.
