Frost Protected shallow foundation
(OP)
I have just one 4'x3' exterior spread footing to support a pipe. frost depth is 7 feet. It is over kill to go that deep. any better ideas?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

(1) Is the soil in which I am founding frost susceptible?
