Any construction always begins with the laying of its basis. And how seriously you are reacting to this, the strength and safety of the future building directly depends, as well as its operation.
The foundation for a block house may vary depending on the soil, the size of the house and its alleged number of storeys. It is important to correctly calculate the design and be sure to observe the styling technology. On complex planting, water -saturated, clay soils, it is recommended to use a strip monolithic foundation (below the depth of freezing).
At first, the foundation breaks out under the foundation no less than a meter. Then crushed stone is poured into the formed space, aligned and thoroughly compacted. Then sand is poured in layers, watered and again trim. Next, the armored formwork is mounted, in the places of connection, the tied with wire. A film is laid at the bottom of the pit to exclude a leakage of cement milk, and only now concrete is poured, it is well tamped, swept away and watered for several days.
The block foundation provides for the use of large foundation concrete or reinforced concrete blocks. Such styling is always accompanied by a large amount of land work. To begin with, around the entire perimeter of the future house, soil is removed to the depths of possible freezing. In the trench, which is formed, reinforced concrete or concrete blocks are laid.
The main advantages of laying such a foundation include the rapid speed of construction and simplicity of the construction. The disadvantages – water can flow in the places of connection of the blocks, but this can be eliminated using special modern construction resources, as well as a large amount of land work, which significantly increases the expended funds. Despite this, such a foundation for a block house is considered one of the most durable.
