For this reason I wonder why we dont lay mini waffle slabs insteads of deep piers and blob footings. With waffle slabs they "float", so movement is restricted to the vertical plane, whereas deep piers can suffer movement in both vertical and horizontal planes. But the slab would have to be of sufficent area to spread the load.
