Degradable Void Forms
Degradable Void Forms are fabricated from materials that degrade quickly, such as corrugated paper and molded paper. Use them where there is an adequate supply of water in the environment to degrade the Void Form material before the soil expands.
Place plastic sheeting only above these Void Forms.
The construction of foundations with Degradable Void Forms requires that these Void Forms be protected from moisture during storage and until concrete is poured.

Non-Degradable Void Forms
This type of Void Form is fabricated from materials that do not degrade quickly, such as plastic, metal, Styrofoam, and wood. The design of foundations with non-degradable Void Forms must acknowledge that these Void Forms will remain in place for a long time.

Collapsible Void Forms
Example: Use Void Forms that are strong enough to support the loads during placement of the concrete foundation. These Void Forms must be too weak to resist expanding soil loads which are large enough to lift the final foundation and superstructure.

Non-Collapsible Void Forms
Example: Use where the strength of the foundation is high enough to resist the uplift forces of soil expansion acting on the forms. Do not use these Void Forms under Slab Areas that have long spans between stiffening beams and with thin unreinforced slab elements.

Isolated Slab
Isolated Slab is the Slab Area that utilizes Void Spaces that separate the Slab Area from the surface soil. It is designed to span between Grade Beams resting on finished grade or Deep Support Systems.

Deep Support Systems
Deep Support Systems, alternatively known as Deep Foundations, are deep components such as drilled piers, driven piles, and helical piles that extend an adequate depth below the movement zone of the Expansive Soil and support Foundations.

Void Forms
Void Forms are sacrificial formwork elements designed to provide Void Space between Expansive Soil and the Foundation, while providing a temporary support formwork for the weight of concrete until it has reached a specified strength.
