Hi guys;
Both of you had great ideas.
I just did some of these near Sonora, CA and the owner had these
really cool brackets installed. The brackets were toi be epoxied to the
concrete slab. I presume you could do something similar epoxied to a
concrete pad footing or bolted to a helical anchor.
I've attached the picture -- I'm not sure if it will go thru...I
have more pictures if anyone is interested just email me directly.
Take care,

**I got involved with these a few years back, the city caught the owner
with using some of these as storage. The end walls are some sort of
moment frame. There should be a label/placard on the container that
gives the allowable racking loads. I ended up using helical screw
anchors at the corners and welding the end of the exposed anchor rod to
a bracket welded to the container corners.**
