How to pour solid foundation

From the foundation depends on the durability of the whole house, so it is not worth saving. For capital construction it is best to build a solid foundation, since it is the most durable and suitable for use on difficult terrain. It has its own and many other advantages. The following will be provided step by step instructions for casting a monolithic foundation.

Features of the application

Monolithic foundations are widely used in private construction and are suitable for both residential and non-residential buildings. Especially popular is the foundation, if the house is not expected construction of the cellar.

Advantages of a monolithic foundation:

1. Monolithic slabs are characterized by high strength, so are able to withstand heavy loads.
2. The base is earthquake-proof, which means no risk of cleaning the water.
3. They do not react to rain, freezing and thawing of the soil, soil displacement, are therefore considered more reliable than other bases.
4. Possible to use monolithic plates on problem soils - heaving, sandy, with a high level of groundwater, as well as peat bogs and swamps.
5. Monolithic slab is finished floor, well protected from ground water and the cold, there is no need lag mounting under the floor.
6. On a monolithic foundation has no cracks.
7. construction technology does not involve hard work and and does not require heavy equipment.
8. Monolithic foundation is perfect for the construction of the house in two floors.

Types of monolithic foundations

Allocate these types of monolithic foundations:

• slab. This solid plate, that is made from reinforced concrete and zaglublivaetsya v ground. V this case plate maybe be formed on the prepared basis or on the tape, that it has view inverted bowls. First a type characterizedbenefit, which is v absence needs montaja below depths, on the which simple priming, what promotes reduction expenditures on the materials.
• Columnar. This design, consisting from pillars, united routerskom. Such strip, disposable on perimeter building, happens small breeding and outwind. First option used at construction lightweight buildings, second – for two-storey buildings big weight.

Excavation

The Fouring Fill Procedure begins with cleaning the area from the top layer of soil containing vegetation. In the process of this work, it is recommended to use a bulldozer. Drive under such a foundation should have a depth of about 1.5 meters. After you dug it, pull out clay, replacing on gravel or sand. The thickness of the foundation is chosen, guided by the weight of the future at home. It should be more, the harder it is planned to build a building. As a rule, the stove thickness is approximately 40 cm, but sometimes it can even reach 1.5 m. The surface needs alignment using a construction level. There should be no bias, otherwise it is possible to even complete destruction of the foundation.

Installing formwork

For a monolithic tape, a formwork should be built using boards that have a thickness of at least 25 mm without incorporating voids. When installing formwork, it is necessary to make a strut, checking the pre-rigidity of the structure, for example, by hitting the foot. Formwork should not break.

5

Waterproofing work

At the next stage, we will deal with the arrangement of the drainage system and laying the waterproofing material. According to the Swedish technology for the construction of a warmed monolithic foundation, the thermal insulation material should also be used.

Reinforcement of foundation

Next, go to the process of the reinforcement of the foundation. Metal bars must have a thickness of about 16 mm. Place their cross-on-cross, making 2 rows - from below. From the surface it is necessary to make an indent, which is 5 centimeters. The distance between the rods must be 20 cm. Steel wire is used to connect sharpness. In addition, it is possible to install the floor heating system on a pre-installed special grid.

Filling of foundation

The procedure for pouring the solution must be carried out at a time. Concrete need to use the highest quality, as serious requirements are put forward to such a base. It is characterized by durability, the brand should be taken from M300. The coefficient that shows waterproofability is selected more than W8, and frost resistance - from F200. Mobility should be p3. After the fill, wait until the stove dries, and you can engage in further work.

The monolithic foundation built by its own hands will be truly durable and reliable if you carefully follow our instructions and not disturb the fill technology of the slab.
