The following is a short example of the heading structure for a literature review that we went over in class. Remember in your literature review to not editorialize or make design decisions. Include only referenced information. For help with making citations on Appropedia, please see Help:Footnotes.
Literature Review
This is a review of the available literature pertinant to the 2014 Practivistas innnitiative to begin construction on a police station for the community of Las Malvinas in Santo Domingo. Topics will range from building materials to general information on construction.

Building a foundation
A foundation is a load bearing part of a building which has direct contact with the soil. Typically they begin below ground level, and are the starting point of a structure. When building a foundation one should considered the type of soil being built in, the potential verticle and horizontal laod being placed upon it, the building sites topography, and its resistince to earthquakes.[1] Types of foundation will varry depending on the size and shape of the structure being built. When building on un-even slopped, or poor quality soil, a deep founation should be built 3 or more feet below the soil. This foundation may also vary in depths throughout. When building on even ground and in higher quality soil, a shallower foundation can be built. [2] In the United States the minimum stregnth requirment for a residnetial concrete foundation is 2500 pounds per square inch (psi)[3]. Appearantly the building codes in Santo Domingo are the same as those in the Uited States [4] so this number could also be applied here since our structure is relatively small
