Gummy soils - not a problem with the right approach
For the erection of the foundation, the soils are a specific problem, which involves taking into account the force of impact, mass and assumed load. This primarily applies to clayey, silty and fine-grained earth. In winter, the water in the soil layers freezes and swells, and the process is uneven. In this regard, the sludge of the structure may pose a certain threat, leading to deformations in the bearing structures. In this case, it is very important to properly arrange the foundation. The properties of the soil have a direct impact on it, so they should be taken into account first.
Thermal insulation is another method that can positively affect the soils. This is especially true for the construction of light, shallow buildings. Laying on the ground on the perimeter of the foundation insulation material, you can avoid freezing of this soil. The width of the heater must correspond to the depth of freezing. As for the thickness of insulation, it is selected individually. You can also try to divert water from the house: if there is not, then there will not be any swelling of the soil. To implement this idea, a drainage system is created that is capable of providing a qualitative diversion. Thus, the water from the ground will go to the side, without adversely affecting the soil.
