Zanjas corridas y zapatas rígidas

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering
Hi,

I'm struggling with the translation of the following phrase which comes from a Proyecto Básico y de Ejecución for the construction of a family home:

Cimentación de tipo superficial directa, mediante zanjas corridas y zapatas rígidas de hormigón armado

I've searched both here and on Iate, but can only find zapatas corridas as strip/ continuous footings but no mention of zanjas corridas (continuous trenches with rigid footings?)

Any insights gratefully received!

strip foundations and shallow foundations

A shallow foundation is a type of foundation which transfers building loads to the earth very near the surface, rather than to a subsurface layer or a range of depths as does a deep foundation. Shallow foundations include spread footing foundations, mat-slab foundations, slab-on-grade foundations, pad foundations, rubble trench foundations and earthbag foundations.

Zapatas aisladas
Empleadas para pilares aislados en terrenos de buena calidad, cuando la excentricidad de la carga del pilar es pequeña o moderada. Esta última condición se cumple mucho mejor en los pilares no perimetrales de un edificio. Las zapatas aisladas según su relación entre el canto y el vuelo o largo máximo libre pueden clasificarse en:
Zapatas rígidas o poco deformables.
Zapatas flexibles o deformables.
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zapata_(cimentación)

Zanjas corridas y zapatas aisladas. Todo relleno con base de hormigón HM—20 y coronación de hormigón HA—25.

Se realizará sobre zanja corrida de hormigón armado.
Strip foundations of reinforced concrete are used
http://www.linguee.es/espanol-ingles/traduccion/zanja corrid...

Strip foundations consist of a continuous strip, usually of concrete, formed centrally under load bearing walls. This continuous strip serves as a level base on which the wall is built and is of such a width as is necessary to spread the load on the foundations to an area of subsoil capable of supporting the load without undue compaction.
