| 摘要 |
The invention comprises a housing unit including at least a pair of elongated footing members spaced-apart and parallel, extending in one direction of the proposed building. A plurality of spaced-apart load supporting beam members are supported directly on said footings, the beam members extending parallel to each other and at right angles to the footings. The beam members extend in cantilever fashion beyond the edges of the footings and define the longitudinal edges of the housing unit to be supported. Longitudinal beams extend in cantilever fashion at right angles to the first beams to define lateral edges of the housing unit. A perimeter insulating skirt extends completely about the edges of the housing unit and at least contacts the surface on which the footing is supported to completely enclose the area surrounding the footings and to thermally insulate said area, the distance of said footings from the perimeter of said insulating skirt being such as to be free of ground freezing conditions in the immediate area of said footing if such freezing conditions occur in the environment of said housing unit. Structural uprights may also be provided on the beams to support substantially the loads of said housing unit directly onto said beams and therefore onto said footings.
