ABSTRACT:
A support, for a pier of the type having a base with a bottom surface area and fastener-receiving bores therethrough, generally comprises a panel with plurality of ribs attached thereto as a stiffening grid; the free sides of the ribs defining a support plane that is parallel to the panel. A plurality of attachment bores in the support receive fasteners for attaching the pier base to the support such that shear forces between the pier and the support are resisted. Shear pegs in shear bores resist shear forces between stacked supports. A plurality of anchor bores through the support each may receive a anchor rod for resisting shear forces between said support and the ground. In an exemplary stacked configuration, the top support has its first side upward, preferably attached to the pier and the bottom support has its first side downward. An alternate stacked embodiment comprises a base of two lower supports laid end to end with an overlapping support overlapping their juncture and supporting the pier directly or supporting another support.
