Cooking MZLF own recipes

Malozaglublonny strip foundation or as it is called for short MZFL, according to its users FORUMHOUSE deservedly it is one of the most common reasons for home. And this foundation is equally well suited for both oblogchonnyh structures such as frame houses, as well as for heavy stone buildings, such as arbolita.

But, despite a number of advantages, such as efficiency, MZFL requires a thoughtful and responsible approach to each stage of its erection. That's one of the pitfalls therein lies. Many developers, rightly regarding this type of foundation one of the best for yourself construction, yet allow a number of annoying bugs, eventually leading to an additional material costs to repair the strip foundation.

What hidden benefit of the construction of the foundation MZFL?

It is believed that laying the foundation below the freezing depth, and for suburbs this depth is 1.5 meters on average, will avoid frost heave forces. But, as it increases the area of ​​the side walls of the foundation, it is often the construction of the belt deeply planted under a light house - it's just an unjustified waste of money. Since such a house can not balance the forces of frost heaving unloaded seeking to push the foundation up.

Compared with the conventional strip foundations, MZFL will avoid the so-called excess "burying money in the ground." As strip foundationLaid on the depth of frost penetration, it requires a much larger volume of excavation, which leads to an increase in construction cost estimates.

And if before the building the majority of developers in the first place you think about the question: And whether will sustain the weight of the foundation of my house? We need a little rephrase the question: Did the soil under the foundation will stand the weight of my house?

One way to overcome the problem soil - not replace it problematic. A user of our forum (forum name Nai74)

- First, the depth of the trench dug at the highest point of 70 cm and at the bottom to 50cm.
Then did incompressible backfill soil. Then they filled sand layers with tamping and by pouring water. I rammed sand manually tamper made from block of wood and cutting. Sand otsypali 20 cm, more gravel fractions 20-40, also in layers. But it's best to rent a compactor, which is much faster work. Backfilled 25 cm of rubble, get a cushion of 45 cm.

You can then proceed to the assembly of the formwork. Nai74 He advises:

- Toformworkused board 40 * 200. Rack bar from 50 * 100 to cost savings made from the old window frames. Formwork collected fast enough, then upholstered it from within the film, we lay on the bottom of the roofing material and began to knit reinforcement.

But what if your site has a noticeable bias or irregularities? Use this flaw to their advantage! Interestingly comprehensive and balanced approach to the construction of our new posts MZFL (forum name marin)

- I portion 20x40, GWL normal season at a depth of 70-80 cm in length slope portion soil - loam topsoil and 40-60 cm, more red clay 30-60 cm. The slope of the mound and it shared the building spot exactly in half, but the inclined played mehandAnd let me further with it to organize a proper sewerage and drainage.

Before you start digging a trench for the foundation, the fertile layer of soil must be removed!

Marin (User FORUMHOUSE):

- On the advice of members of the forum, I decided to remove the topsoil and at the same time cut the hill from the garden and a bit of land leveled. To this end, a pair of driven tractors. One tractor raspluzhil my strawberry beds on the plow depth of about 30 cm, while the other ladle is very carefully removed topsoil and smashed it to the edge portion.

About how to approach the selection of cultivators can be readin this article.

We are doing formwork

Once the trench is dug, it is fabricated formwork.

The main purpose of the formwork is the exact form of the future provision of the foundation and structural elements. Standard formwork is a wooden mold made of planks which then poured concrete. After the concrete has hardened, the formwork disassembled. If you can use a neat approach to re-board.

Interestingly shuttering manufacturing experience of one of the members of our forum (forum name artemsid)

- The bottom of the I-Shots 350 m with roofing material, inside the formwork fitted a banner and the film. dimensional ordered fittings 11,7m, that was a whole, without joints. He reinforced in two rows of three rod 14mm, every 60cm frame of the 10th fixture. Frame bent homemade device from the corner of the kerf, fixed on the grid.
Then I put the lower number of fittings, proarmiroval corners and pulled formwork wire installed on the frame and the top row of valves. Formwork closed film to avoid being flooded by rain. Laser level marking made screws and screw.

Marin(User FORUMHOUSE):

- My builders, too, when marking the site - in order to bring in line the horizon used the laser level, and to the line could be seen more clearer did it at night.Errors with it just will not!

In order to secure the edges of the formwork can be used Electrical tavern. Since it is convenient to use with pull bars to keep all formwork.
