Dear All,

 

I have found conflicting information regarding the best foundation system for a high water table.  Some argue for shallow foundations atop gravel while others propose piles.  Would anyone be able to clarify?

Many thanks,

CP

  Sadly.....too many to name.....

  Fundamentals of Building Construction, Building Construction Illustrated etc.  

  I guess to clarify, the comment would be that there appears to be no definitive answer between the two options sited earlier........
