footprint, when unpredictable settlements may occur, if uplift
forces are too large for regular spread footings, or if the ground
water table is above the footing. Piles are long columns made of
concrete, steel, or timber, and can extend well over 20 ft into the
soil. Piles (deep foundations) are used when the surface soils are
too weak to build on, the spread footing area exceeds one-third
the building’s footprint, the soils are subject to scour and potential
flooding, large uplift or lateral load capacity is needed, and complex
soils are present. Piles potentially could be used in soft soils
or flooded areas to elevate the container structures and provide
structural stability.
Most of the structures created from shipping containers will use
either concrete spread footings or a mat foundation. Especially under
low gravity loads, concrete masonry blocks and bricks potentially
can be used for foundations as shown in Fig. 4. Other
foundations for container structures include wood beam footings,
