Problem
A single, continuous strip footing often spreads loads unevenly and adapts poorly to ground conditions that change from spot to spot.
Solution
Found the building on finely branching footings that follow the actual loads and spread into the ground like the roots of a tree, rather than on one rigid continuous strip.
