Abstract
"Wood foundations are a structure form cooperatively developed by the American Wood Preservers Institutes, the Economics and Marketing Division of the U.S. Forest Service and the National Forest Products Association. Stated simply, the Permanent Wood Foundation (PWF) (see Figure 1) is a stud wall structure with a plywood skin (sheathing) (see Figure 2). All wood members (lumber and plywood) are treated with a water-borne preservative* to a specified minimum retention of the solution. A system of moisture control featuring a 4-inch layer of rock ballast under the entire foundation is an integral part of the PWF (see Figures 2 and 3). The entire basement is enclosed in a 6-mil polyethylene plastic cover."--First page.
