Waste tires foundation bags

Abstract

The present invention is a waste-tire foundation bag. Stackable bags suitable for containing soil are filled with 50% waste tire portions and 50% soil. The bag openings are closed to prevent the contents from falling out. The bags are stacked in piles in a building-foundation excavation pit. Concrete is poured over and between the piles, whereby the solidified concrete foundation rests on the piles of waste-tire bags.

1 . A container for placing underneath construction foundation structures, construction foundation structure comprising: a plurality of bags; deformable substances; and geological substances; the bags being filled with the deformable and geological substances; a concrete slab on grade; and concrete footers; the concrete footers tied to the concrete slab; the filled bags being placed underneath the the concrete slab, and between the concrete footers; the bottom of concrete footers and the bags rest on supporting bedrock, ground or subsurface in which the construction foundation structures is lodged.  
   
   
       2 . The construction foundation structure of  claim 1 , wherein the deformable substances are waste tire portions.  
   
   
       3 . The construction foundation structure of  claim 1 , wherein the geological substances are selected from the group (bottom soil, rocks, pebbles, and gravel); wherein the deformable substances are waste tire portions.  
   
   
       4 . The construction foundation structure of  claim 1 , wherein the bags are stacked in rows and columns.  
   
   
       5 . A waste tire bag, the waste tire bag comprising: a sealable and stackable bag; waste tire portions; and geological substances from the group (sand, rocks, pebbles, and gravel); the bag being filled with the tire portions and the geological substances.  
   
   
       6 . The waste tire bag of  claim 5 , wherein the geological substance is soil; wherein the bag is filled with 50% waste tire portions and 50% bottom soil, where the soil and waste tire portions are evenly distributed throughout the bag, as such distribution can be practically achieved by mixing the soil and waste tire portions together.  
   
   
       7 . The waste tire bag of  claim 5 , wherein the volume of the bag is filled with 50% tire portions and 50% geological substances from the group (sand, rocks, pebbles, and gravel) where the geological substances and waste tire portions are evenly distributed throughout the bag, as such distribution can be practically achieved by mixing the geological substances and waste tire portions together.  
   
   
       8 . The waste tire bag of  claim 6 , wherein the bag is made of non-biodegradable material.  
   
   
       9 . The waste tire bag of  claim 7 , wherein bag is made of non-biodegradable material.  
   
   
       10 . A method of using the waste tire bag of  claim 9 , comprising: the step of stacking the bags in piles, the piles comprising level rows and vertical columns, several rows wide and several columns high; the step of placing the piles inside a building-foundation excavation pit; the step of constructing a temporary form-wall fence around and flush with the pit perimeter; the step of arranging the piles evenly and spaced apart within the pit, the pile arrangement forming longitudinal and transverse spaces between the piles and between the piles and the pit perimeter and form-wall fence perimeter; the step of installing groundwork plumbing and electrical in between said spaces; the step of pouring concrete into the spaces and over the piles.
