Good Foundation for Barn and Its Construction Principles
Professor R M Dolve of North Dakota Agricultural College explains that a barn foundation must be proportioned so its width and bearing align with soil capacity to prevent uneven settling. He cites soil bearing power of 2 to 3 tons per sq ft, endorses concrete for bases when sand and gravel are cheap, and gives a mix ratio of 1 part Portland cement, 2.5 parts sand, and 5.5 parts crushed rock or gravel for satisfactory foundations.
