[edit] Nomenclature / Other Topics
There are some names here that I've never heard before. It might be a local thing, in which case we should pick the more common name:
- Raft Slab vs. Mat-Slab
- Strip Footing vs. Spread Footing
- Pad Footing - not present
I'm guessing that a "mat-slab" is equivalent to a raft slab and a "spread footing" is equivalent to a strip footing, but I don't think these are the common names simply because I'm not familiar with them. Also some image labels are incorrect. Mr. Welsh (talk) 13:09, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
