ABSTRACT:
A foundation structure for supporting a superstructure utilizing a first block and a second block, with a third block disposed between the first and second blocks. Each block includes a top, bottom, and sidewall portion, as well as an interlocking mechanism. At least one chase extends through each of the blocks. The chases are alignable with one another to permit use of an elongated member such as a rod or wire rope which passes through all of the blocks when they are placed in side-by-side orientation. The elongated members are tensioned, causing compression of the blocks into a foundation unit with a contiguous top surface. A superstructure is supported to the top surface of the foundation unit.
