Application and construction of tape type foundations
The importance of choosing a suitable foundation is clear to everyone, so it should not be saved, because subsequent risks can be very high, up to the full collapse of the construction, which can already occur after two three years of life of the house. This will require a person who has known in the construction sector, who can advise the foundation necessary for a particular case.
There are several varieties of foundations for a residential building or cottage. This article will consider this type of foundation as strip.
The foundation of the tape type is usually used for houses not exceeding two or three floors that are built in the location where the soil does not “float” and is relatively talked. All tape types of foundations are divided into several more subtypes and are built depending on the specific need. Land foundation subtypes: monolithic-reinforced concrete, block, monolithic-brick.
More often for a small residential building by builders, tape foundations are used, because they are a good basis for all external walls and its service life is quite long. It is already possible to build walls to the strip base after the concrete and the entire structure has dried up, which shortens the term of the entire construction.
