Abstract:
A method for securing a mobile home to the ground, said mobile home having living facilities mounted on a steel beam frame, said method comprising the steps of:providing a plurality of elongated concrete slabs comprising a bottom surface, a pair of side surfaces, a pair of end surfaces, a top surface and a pair of beveled edge surfaces;digging a plurality of elongated ditches, so that the ditches are approximately the size of said concrete slabs and so that the ditches are substantially parallel to each other and spaced a predetermined distance apart and situated transverse along the length of the mobile home;placing said elongated concrete slabs in said ditches to a depth such that at least the top surface is exposed;positioning a mobile home over said concrete slabs so that said elongated concrete slabs are situated substantially transverse along the length of the mobile home;placing a support system between said mobile home and said concrete slabs so that said mobile home rests on said support system;securing at least two fastener assemblies to the top surface of said concrete slabs so that they are aligned under a steel beam so that one fastener assembly is substantially underneath one side of the beam the other fastener assembly is substantially underneath the other side of the beam;connecting a first end of a constraint device to one of said at least two fasteners;passing the constraint device between the steel beam and the living facilities of the mobile home; andconnecting the second end of said constraint device to the second of the at least two fasteners, thereby securing the mobile home to the concrete slabs.
