Recommendations
- Collect at least 17 more sources to reach a defensible literature base.
- Add more peer-reviewed studies — technical claims need reviewed evidence, not agency summaries alone.
- 8 sources have not been evaluated for credibility.
- Add a current design standard to support the proposed methodology.
- Review conflicting findings related to foundation settlement before drafting that theme.
