Varieties, advantages and operational qualities of the foundation
The construction of any building begins with the construction of the basis – the foundation. But, before erecting such a design, it is necessary to accurately decide which foundation for the construction of a building. Today, a strip, pile and monolithic foundation is very popular today.
Monolithic foundation acts in the form of a concrete slab. This foundation is attributed to the most costly foundations. But, despite the high price of this foundation, it has a number of advantages. So, a monolithic foundation can withstand heavy loads. The device of such a foundation is carried out in a fairly short time and without a lot of effort. The plate is laid on a special pillow, which consists of gravel. A pile foundation is considered a modern foundation.
This design consists of several piles. Screw piles are reliable structures that are often used in places where you cannot arrange another basis. Such a foundation is installed very quickly. If desired, the pile foundation can be built in the winter season. The cost of this design is quite democratic, which cannot be said about strip foundations.
The strip foundation is a monolithic tape, which is laid under the supporting walls of the building. The strip foundation is widely used to build country houses. For its device, it is necessary to dig a pit of a certain depth and width, set the formwork and pour concrete. In order for the design to be more durable, it is reinforced.
