There are no trifles in the construction of the house.Each stage is very important, because it carries some kind of its load. But the foundation of everything is the foundation. From how objectively you assess the situation on your site, how thoroughly you will conduct a study of the soil and the groundwater table, what foundation you will choose for your home, the stability of walls, roofs, ceilings will depend.
But it is not always possible to conduct all theseresearch. A solid foundation plate can be a good helper here. A huge advantage of this option is the possibility of using it practically on any sites, regardless of the ground. A single base creates a floating base, which can move along with the soil.
That the house stood more steadily, the perimeter of the log houseIt should not be larger than the dimensions that a solid foundation plate has. Its thickness may be different, but not less than 20 cm. The structure of the substrate depends on the materials used. For a basis it is possible to take ready monolithic ferro-concrete plate. This will significantly shorten construction time, but the question arises of the delivery of such heavy cargo to the site. A simpler version is to fill the foundation directly on the site. This will simplify the technology, but will increase the time that will be spent on preparing the base.
There are several types of fill for creatingThe foundation, which is based on a monolithic foundation plate. Technology, first of all, depends on the choice of the type of base. Here, a shallow, deep or deep foundation can be used. In the prepared pit, the depth of which is determined directly from the characteristics of your site, a sand cushion is laid. In the rammed site, the reinforcement is fixed, thanks to which the foundation will become more durable. The diameter of the rod, the dimensions and the frequency of the cells are calculated taking into account the further construction. For small frame walls, you can use a simplified version of reinforcement without reinforced screed. It is better to put the brick on a more solid foundation.
For pouring it is necessary to use concretehigh class, this will ensure the quality of work, and a solid foundation plate will for many years serve as a solid foundation for your home. The sequence of the whole process depends on the equipment used. When laying the foundation, one should not forget about the waterproofing and thermal insulation of both the plate itself and the joints between the wall and the base. This will remove all possible bridges of cold and additionally insulate the house.
A monolithic foundation plate is sometimes used without digging a foundation pit. It is enough to compact the soil and pour the pillow, and then put the reinforced concrete foundation.
Floating foundation allows you to stand at home withabundant precipitation, on the soils, especially in the presence of groundwater. In all these cases, a monolithic foundation plate will be the most suitable choice. The stability of the base of the house here covers the high cost of the entire process.
