The design of foundations for cottages, their advantages and differences
Volume-modular low-rise construction is based on the creation of buildings using frame technology. Frames can be made of LSTK (light steel thin -leaf structures) or wood. Mineral or basalt fibers or mats are used as insulation. Based on this, the frame building has not a large weight.
As foundations for small -weight houses, insulated monolithic foundations of small deepening, light monolithic tape foundations on a pile base or foundations made of metal screw piles can be used.
Each, of the listed structures, has its own positive and negative sides. The material intensity, the complexity of manufacture is different, the nomenclature of the materials used, methods of care and repair are characterized.
The choice of the foundation design is made by the designer, taking into account the terrain and geological parameters of the soil at the construction site.
The service life indicated by the manufacturers for all light foundations is comparable with the service life of the frame voluminous-modular building. The service of the frame of the frame of the frame of the frame of the frame of about 80-100 years is a guaranteed longevity of the supporting structures of the frame.
