Whats the best/worst shapes for a house?
The best shape for a house resting on highly expansive clay soil is square, round, or rectangular. U, C, H, L, and other irregular shapes usually exhibit evidence of foundation movement more readily than other types of construction. The expansion and contraction of expansive soil at the inside of the U, C, H, or L shaped houses tend to force the protruding wings apart, causing damage to the superstructure and the foundation.
