Construction errors. Studying other people's examples
Often, other people's mistakes are so revealing that when you see them, you understand without any explanation: how to do or how not to do it. Someone else's example is the most intelligible. Therefore, it is very rare for someone to experiment with technologies and combinations of building and finishing materials. Most do as is customary or as done by a neighbor. But often, like a neighbor, you should not do this at all:
The owner of the house ordered the builders to build an extension to the house. An annex with a plinth, possibly a garage. The builders, apparently, did not find out what kind of foundation and what kind of soil - they dug a foundation pit close to the house with equipment. But they did not take into account the subsidence of the soil from the rains that began. Foundation of FBS blocks (not a monolith and not on a concrete tape). They simply did not have time to strengthen the foundation - the wall of the house began to crack and collapsed.
This example was examined in detail on the StroyKhlam channel in youtube. Perhaps an armored belt under the floor slabs could have saved the situation, the wall would have cracked, but the floor slabs did not collapse.
Conclusion: never dig in the foundation of a house. Under no circumstances.
To save money, the self-sustainer uses rubble stone laid on a solution. For reinforcement - scrap scrap. The area of the future building is large enough. How to answer the question: does his idea make sense, you need to know in what climatic zone this construction site is. If in the region where the winters are warm, there is no freezing of the soil, then such a technique may be justified. But under one more condition: there must be a good bearing capacity of the soil.
Metal scraps are not reinforcement, they are generally superfluous. The reinforcement must be ribbed and must be immersed in the monolith along the entire length of the side of the foundation. Smooth reinforcement, laid in sections, will not even prevent cracking.
In general, somewhere in central or western Europe on solid soils, this technique allows you to save on the foundation (if the walls are light and will not destroy the laying of the foundation). But all the same, the risks of destruction of such a foundation will remain.
Someone planned to build a house with a full-fledged floor, but the house was built with an attic, while maintaining the layout. And that's what came of it. Using the toilet is, to put it mildly, inconvenient. Although, the difference in the cost of the walls between the semi-attic floor and the full-fledged one is small. People choose attic floors because of the design and appearance of the house.
An incident when installing a kitchen. Be careful when using the hammer drill. Instead of a water pipe, it can also be a wiring in the wall. And in the floor there is a floor heating pipe. Always think, do not work automatically.
