Abstract
A support foundation for a building structure includes a channel member at the upper end of a support post for receiving a joist. The support post is adjustable in length by a nut on a threaded rod which slides within a sleeve the lower end of which is welded to a base pad of the foundation. The sleeve is supported by inclined struts. The base is domed with a concave lower surface which maintains soil underneath the surface to inhibit tilting or sinking.
