	=~~Introduction~~=		=Rubble Trench for CEB=

	For the design of building foundations that we will use for CEB construction, we are building on the work documented by [http://www.dancingrabbit.org/ Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage]. These people are in the same state and climate zone as we are, so their designs are directly relevant.

	==Frost-Protected Shallow Foundation==		=Frost-Protected Shallow Foundation=

	The next evolution of simplified foundations is the frost protected shallow foundation. This technique is much more conservative in the use of foundation material - thereby reducing cost and effort requirements - by utilizing insulation on the outside foundation wall. In this example, the depth of the foundation required is halved - down to about 20 inches, from the typical 3 feet required in northern Missouri. The effectiveness of this method relies on the insulation keeping the heat in, and the house transfering the heat from an earthen floor - such that the foundation is kept above freezing.
