Foundations and other types of buildings

The foundation of small deposits, which do not collapse under the influence of frost, can easily replace the foundations of deeper laying, which are more expensive.

Unlike such varieties as deep foundations, this type of foundation can be laid down to a depth of fifty centimeters even in the conditions of a very severe climate. Such frost resistance is achieved with the help of thermal insulation, which is located in the main places of the foundation practically along the entire perimeter of the building. On the territory of the Russian Federation, these species are rarely used, since they were first heard about 15 years ago.

Thanks Use of reinforced concrete slabs, the foundations of shallow laying have a monolithic appearance. The thickness reaches 20 centimeters. The edges of these plates are thickened, and the edges are contoured. In order for the foundation to protect the building more effectively from freezing, foam is used, which is considered an excellent thermal insulation material.

The heat that leaves the house in the ground, overcoming the plate, and the geothermal heat transfer contribute to the fact that the freezing line rapidly begins to rise up the entire perimeter of the base. In the event that the house is heated at ground level, the frost limits are increased by using any kind of substrate.

The foundations of small deposits help prevent all possible heat losses. In addition, this type contributes to the transfer of heat through the slab into the ground. If we take into account that the transmitted temperature is combined with the geothermal heat transfer, the depth of freezing of the soil around the structure is sharply reduced.

When creating housing in regions with a very severe climate, the following problem may arise: the foam begins to decompose easily due to ultraviolet irradiation. However, it does not have great strength and can collapse from any strong impact. Especially this problem affects if the builders need to create a foundation on the slope.

To solve this problem, you can use a special plastic, which goes on sale in the form of a roll. The upper part of the base should be wrapped with vinyl chloride film. It is necessary to start from the inner edge of the foundation slab. This type of film very easily adheres to the plinth of concrete and foam plastic in case of using mastic. Chlorovinyl plastic will provide protection from a variety of insects that can safely pass through the foam, while doing a lot of channels in it

Do not forget that the foundations of small deposits, thanks to their device, are more economical (in comparison with the traditional base). This kind of base can be used in the regions literally with any climatic conditions. Using it, you can significantly reduce the cost of purchasing materials, thus reducing the cost of building the whole house as a whole.
