Conclusion
It is possible to obtain a minimum-volume foundation only when the calculations of the base and body of the foundation are considered simultaneously from the same viewpoint and when the ratios of the dimensions of the undersurface are not assigned but established in a calculation based on knowledge of the main regularities of the change of volume of the slab part of the foundation.
