The foundation is very important for the home, since it is a supporting part of its entire structure. The main purpose of the foundation is to withstand the weight of the outer construction, thereby preventing the walls from distorting, allowing you to avoid sedimentation and occurrence of cracks.
Therefore, the construction of the foundations of houses should satisfy the following requirements:
1. Have sufficient strength.
2. Resistance to sliding and overturning in the plane of the sole.
3. Resistance to atmospheric factors.
4. Economic profitability in the construction of houses.
The most common in private residential construction is the strip foundation. Ribbon foundations are prefabricated or monolithic. Collective foundations are made of reinforced concrete slabs. In the case when a private house is built on stable soil, gaps between the plates of pillows are allowed. These spaces are subsequently covered with dry sand.
To create communications in the foundation between the pillows, shells are laid, which are subsequently poured with concrete at least the M200 brand. At the same time, it is recommended to frog the formwork and the sleeve immediately, along with the installation of wall blocks. But most often in Russia, gaps in the walls of the foundation are closed with brick. In this case, the brick should be clay and well -burned.
