I would like to begin the next evolution. most of us have been refering to post and pier as the prefered foundation. Perhaps we could hear of some variations of this design.
One that I have read about and would like to know more about is the Shear panel/ or partial perimeter foundation. Both of these methods are used for seismic and lateral wind force protection. Are they currently being used in the Puna area and does anyone have better or other ideas for this type of protection.
Perhaps neither of these two issues are even a factor worth considering (Wind & Earthquakes)
