The foundation of each house and the guarantee of preserving its walls (tell more by example)
The foundation - the foundation of each house and the guarantee of preserving its walls for several hundreds of years. How to make a foundation for a residential building in a harsh climate? Tell us more by example.
What to do first?
The preparatory phase of building foundations of buildings includes a choice of design, research soil for groundwater level drilling and preparation scheme (in what place will be home and etc). For the study of soil is best to invite a specialist or an experienced builder who builds houses more than a year, since the entire structure depends on the strength characteristics of the soil. This is followed to determine the structure.
Columnar as pile foundation is suitable for smaller buildings, such as for a bath or barn because of its strength characteristics it is largely inferior to the rest of the species. It remains to choose between the belt and the monolithic base.
For your home 10 * 9, we chose a strip foundation for three reasons:
1. low price (value 2 times less than the monolith);
2. the opportunity to take a deep cellar;
3. opportunity to crawl to the sewer pipes, water and heating.
It is also one of the major advantages of the strip foundation is that it can be done on their own, without any special equipment.
What's next?
The next step is the creation of the foundation under the house layout area threads, digging the ground to the level of freezing (in Each region is different indicator) drafted on the square, lying on the sand depth of 10 cm in height and tamping.
First, create a reinforcing tie. It is required for the stability of the future house and giving a direct view of the formwork formed. The belt type fittings located horizontally.
After designing reinforcement at the bottom of the foundation of the future cost to ship the broken glass and pour 5 cm asphalt layer. This trick will make the basis of the house is durable and resistant to frost and freezing.
Next formwork made of wood. Formwork be done from durable new boards to a pour point not burst solution board and the solution resulted. In this case it should be secured with a double layer of pinch and guide boards and side shields.
The final stage
At the last stage is filled with a ready solution. Specifically in our region easier and cheaper to be ordered 3 cars of the solution and allow it to pour the foundation on their own, without putting in this effort. Also, when you order the machine with a solution of the time it took 4:00 instead of the two weeks of hard work yourself mixing concrete with sand and stone.
After pouring the solution into the compartments of the tape base, you need to wait a day and cover with prepared foundation cushion foil and pieces of old blankets or other cotton fabric. After 2 months of waiting and irrigation water home base cushion (2 times a week in the absence of rain), it is necessary to remove the polyethylene fabric, disassemble and lubricate the formwork ready frame in several layers bitumen. In this state, you can leave the house for a whole winter, so we did. This will help them better prepare for the erection of walls.
