Reinforced concrete monolithic slab, which is located under the area of the entire structure, is a slab foundation.
In the case when the soil on the site is sandy, loose, and soil waters lie close to the surface, then many have the following question: how to make the foundation so that the dwelling built on it stands reliably, and there are no unnecessary problems during operation? Here is the time to recall the special slab technology of the foundation bookmark.
It is from the pit that starts laying the foundation of such a plan. The foundation pit undermines it initially, and then stamped up high quality, the bottom is well and scrupulously aligned. A special pillow falls on the tamped bottom, which is a layer of small sand or gravel. The pillow is covered with a special waterproofing material, and a concrete thin screed is already placed upstairs. When it dries, they begin to lay the reinforcement of steel, then the pit is poured with concrete. The result of such operations in construction is a powerful reinforced concrete monolithic slab. It then serves as the foundation and floor of the basement.
Due to the specific features of the structure, the foundation on such a monolithic slab is not afraid of any soil displacements. On it you can build a house in a pair of floors from timber, brick, using frame technology. You will be sure of sure, then the shift of the soil will not be able to harm the structure.
It should be noted that the slab foundation is a more cost technology if equal to the columnar. But it will cost cheaper than the foundation of the strip type. The laying of the slab foundation is associated with huge volumes of preparatory work with the ground. The increased cost is determined, if we compare other types of foundations. Here you can add material consumption along with steel reinforcement. It is more advisable to use the foundation of this type when erecting small structures, where the foundation plate itself acts as the basis of gender.
The device of such a foundation is very reliable, it is used for the construction of dwellings on all types of soil at various depths of groundwater fitting. It acts as a good option for construction on highly compressed, uneven, heaving soils.
