Foundation - the foundation construction, everybody knows it, he has to be arranged even in the most simple and easy building.If you do not, then no matter what materials are used in construction, is no guarantee that the building will stay at least a few years, no one will - the next year it could not give a bias, and is capable of simply mislaid.
Before you pour the foundation for a house, bath, garage or shed, it should define the type.According to statistics, the most common is a strip foundation, but in a small and lightweight construction - is monolithic tape.He is on the perimeter of the building flooded strip of concrete or reinforced concrete, which is a rigid structure, and not giving the building a warp, sag and collapse, especially in unstable soils.
Before an individual developer sooner or later the question arises how to pour the foundation for a house on their own, without the involvement of specialized organizations and hired crews.It's not as difficult as it seems at first glance.The initial stage of any construction is a breakdown of the object on the ground, that is, it should be with the help of pegs and rope mark on the ground plan of the building - its length, width, and location of the main wall, it must also be noted and the required width of the foundation, its value is the thickness of the future walls plus10-15 cm.
next step in deciding how to pour the foundation for the house, go earthworks.It is necessary to strictly follow the markings, dig a trench.The walls must be smooth and vertical, and the depth is slightly larger by about 20 cm, than the depth of soil freezing.At the bottom of the trench is arranged sand cushion thickness of 10-20 cm and compacted thoroughly - it is necessary to ensure that the shrinkage of the foundation was uniform.Inside the trench advisable to lay some waterproofing material, it may be an ordinary plastic film.
After excavation exposed formwork.It is mainly used folding, wooden boards.Formwork should be strengthened outside the props, or concrete razopret it in hand, and arrange on top struts, without this it will be filled up or roll inward, until the concrete is poured, carefully fix the corners.Keep in mind that the height of the ground part of the foundation - the cap should be at least 30 cm.
Before you pour the strip foundation, the inside of the trench with formwork laid reinforcing mesh, and already it is poured concrete, which is recommended by well ramming to inside the structure is notformed voids.Finished basement served chips and allowed to acquire technological strength for at least a month.Formwork can be removed after a week, trying to do it as gently as possible so as not to damage the smooth and even surface texture.
Surely, together with the question of how to pour the foundation for the house builder to rise for at least the burning question: how much it costs to fill the foundation for its construction?This can be calculated quite easily, it all depends on the prices in the region.Assume that the preparatory and excavation work carried out on their own people.It remains to find out how much concrete will go to the foundation.To do this, multiply the total length of the walls to the width of the foundation and its overall height (including of underground and ground parts), the resulting number and give the necessary amount of concrete cubes.
cost mortgaged fixtures can be found, given that per meter of the foundation goes about 6-8 m.
If you intend to do kneading by hand, you should know that 1 cubic meter.Concrete will mark 300: cement M300 - 890 kg of sand - 0.5 cubic meters.and rubble - 0.8 cubic meters.Knowing the prices in DIY stores on the material and the amount of concrete required, it is not difficult to calculate how much it costs to fill the foundation for the specific structure.
From the foregoing, it is evident that to build a strip foundation alone is quite real, and it will cost much cheaper than if you engage in this matter mercenary brigade or special organization.
