ABSTRACT:
A stilt construction for a dwelling house is comprised of a core structure having a reinforced turned-down edge core slab and a plurality of wooden core pilings set into the earth to extend upward through the slab; moment-reacting connectors anchor the core slab perpendicularly to the pilings. A beam structure, horizontally supported by the tops of the core pilings, extends outward of the core to the tops of pilings remote from the core structure. Earth-supported slabs, which lay beneath the beam structure outboard of the core, are not anchored to the remote piles and are free to settle. An upper floor is supported upon the beam structure, while walls for the lower floor are suspended from the beam structure. Sill members along their lower edges adjacent to the earth-supported slab do not rely on it for bearing. The core structure, which contains water and sewer connections, is maintained horizontal because the integrated structure resists non-uniform settling and lateral movement; while the earth-supported slab, which forms the floors for garages, workshops and other recreation areas outboard of the core structure, may settle without disturbing the walls thereabove.
