What is the foundation of the boring different from conventional piles?

A large selection of different types of foundations, made by different methods, allow you to choose the most suitable option not only for the ground, but also based on the design of the house.

For country construction more often use a tape or columnar foundation. But no less interesting option with the use of piles, especially if the site has a slope. When building in a city where there is a very dense building, the foundation of a bored building is the most optimal solution. The technology of its manufacture allows you to build a house without causing trouble to nearby buildings. The main idea of this method is that the pile does not go deeper into the ground, but "grows" out of the ground (due to filling).

The foundation of the boring can be performed in several ways. Digging or drilling a well, install a pipe into it (or make a removable formwork). As the hole is filled, all unnecessary elements can be removed, but sometimes they are left to give additional strength to the structure. For a better compaction of concrete, a special drill is used, which creates vibration (and the composition lays more tightly).

Begin to fill the foundation bored with the design of the pillow. It can be made from rubble, sand or concrete mix, previously rammed them. Then the well is filled with the main material. It can be just a few layers of concrete or concrete combined with a stone. Cobblestone, sandstone or limestone is suitable here, the main thing is that it should be smooth and stable. Otherwise it is called a rubble stone. To increase the strength of the bored pile, it is possible to use an armature, which then must be combined into a single structure with a grillage.

The width of the foundation, made on the basis of bored piles, depends, first of all, on the thickness of the wall of the house. Frame structures do not require large dimensions, as the walls are light and not too thick. The width of the foundation in this version can correspond to the size of the wall. For a house made of timber, the foundation should be more 20-40 mm to distribute the load more evenly. Therefore, it is the material from which the house is built that determines the width of any foundation other than the slab. There the stove is poured into the size of the house.

It is necessary to pay attention to the quality of the material used when building a house. Cement for the foundation should be chosen based on strength characteristics. These parameters are affected by various impurities, which improve the quality of the resulting material. But if this is relevant for the construction of a house, you can take a lower quality cement for a garage (and, especially, a barn).

It is better to fill the foundations with a fast-hardening cement, but dilute it in small portions. Each next fill is prepared after the previous layer has been tamped. Buying cement, take into account that it is not always possible to accurately observe the proportions of all incoming components. In this case, sand must also be of suitable consistency and high quality.

Putting all these components together, you can get a solid foundation, and, therefore, and the confidence that the house will last a long time.
