wood used in the construction of our ancestors.Because of her unique style erected residential buildings.Some monuments, built from this material, there are to this day.Time passed, and construction technology gradually changed.In place of the tree came brick, foam concrete, cinder block and other.Only now wooden houses gained its popularity.Raising them from different kinds of wood.But that's a better foundation for the houses of timber or logs, not everyone knows.
How to choose a foundation?
question of what is best for the foundation of the house from a bar, concerned a man who wants his country in the area to build houses of this material.After a solid foundation - the key to long service life of the structure.Of great importance is the soil on the site.And it can be:
- uniform;
- fine-grained;
- peat.
an excellent option for any type of foundation is the first type of soil.To build a house on it, it is not necessary to excel with different technologies.The foundation in this case may be any.
Note. On this basis, the structure will not be over the life of the shrink, deform under the influence of moisture and warp.
fine-grained soils are not as practical.They can be sandy or clay.They are well withstand any load only in dry weather.But as soon as precipitation falls or flooding happens, the soil immediately begins to "float."This creates an additional burden on the foundation, and for this reason it starts to deform: changes shape, giving a crack.
Note. If this soil pick the wrong type of foundation, then eventually it will cause deformation of the whole structure.
most unfortunate is considered the peat soil.As a rule, it can be found near the forest plantations, in a swampy area near lakes and other waters other.
important. Experts do not recommend to build on this basis houses, because they can begin to deform from moisture on the foundation.
To determine the type of soil on the site hold special geodetic survey.They will determine exactly what the foundation is better suited for the home from a bar.According to the report, it is possible to know how much of a particular component is located in the soil.
is also worth considering the level of soil freezing at the site in a particular area.After all, the depth of the foundation should be below it.This will keep the whole structure from moisture in the case of melting snow.Set this level you can own.To this end, in early spring when the snow melts, the surface of the soil is removed with a shovel and checked how far there is still stilled soil.Or you can ask the advice of a neighbor or call the geodesic service.
Types of foundations under house from a bar
to determine exactly with what is best for the foundation of the house from a bar, you must initially know all the characteristics of a base which is used for the construction of such buildings.
So you can build:
- monolithic base;
- pile;
- tape;
- columnar;
- slab.
All these types of foundations are not only manufacturing technology, but also for its technical characteristics.Just based on these, you can determine what the foundation needed for home from a bar.
Note. Pre-need to find out from the experts all about choosing the foundation for the house from a bar to the building was strong and has served faithfully for more than one generation of tenants.
Solid foundation under a wooden house
safe to say that such a foundation is the most practical and the most popular for the construction of any house.Despite its benefits, it has one, but rather significant drawback - the cost.In the calculation of the base to take into account the amount of material required:
- sand;
- cement;
- water;
- other additional components.
The latter include hardeners and other minerals that enhance the strength of concrete and its resistance to almost all influences.
advantages of this foundation
Firstly, the base has an extraordinary strength.Depending on the depth, it can support multi-storey buildings made of any material.Secondly, the foundation durable.He does not have a specific lifetime.In some cases, even during the demolition of the house can be used for the construction of a new base.
Council. In this case, doing some work on the reconstruction and strengthening of the foundation.
How to build a monolithic foundation?
used to build the foundation for a home from a bar, the instruction.So, initially determined the dimensions of the future building and dug a pit depth required.Then formwork is made of wooden planks.Then you need to prepare a concrete solution.All ingredients are mixed in the mixer, the composition has a homogeneous structure.
Once the concrete is ready for pouring, laid reinforcement to enhance the strength of the base and filled with the solution.
Note. This foundation should dry up and become stronger.It occupies at least 20 days.
Some experts recommend giving the base to stand for several seasons.It is particularly important in this case, the hook in the works fall and spring.
pile foundations
If you have already determined what the foundation is better for home from a bar, choose the material for it.For example, if the pile foundation, the need piles of wood or metal.
Important! most robust and reliable metal piles are considered.The material from which they are made more resistant to various impacts.
is not to say that the wooden piles are less reliable.Rather, they are less functional, as they can not be used on any terrain.
Features pile foundation
main advantage of this base is its versatility.You can build it in any soil, as the focus and structure of the load will only affect the pile.
Note. For this reason, it is worth considering the future structure of the load, to prevent the possibility of piles deformed.
Deepen base such components into the soil not less than 1.5 meters.It all depends on the number of storeys of the structure and its mass.Piles in the construction will be much cheaper than a monolithic foundation.Because of this, they often opt for the construction of wooden buildings.Pre
around the perimeter of the future building at a distance of not more than 1-1.5 m dug pits certain depth.They do podsypku from:
- sand;
- gravel;
- rubble.
then on the level in the pit and put piles concreted.The solution was prepared similarly to the construction of a monolithic foundation.During the work necessary to make waterproofing the piles using tar paper and plastic film.
strength of the base of this type takes over 30 days.Thereafter, the upper rail is made of wood or metal tubing.Only then constructed on the foundation frame on which are mounted, and the wall of the wooden house.
Strip foundation and its characteristics
What better foundation for the home from a bar?This question clearly received no response.It depends on the type of soil on the site.Strip foundation is something between the adjacent monolithic and pile foundation.It is made from:
- small pillars;
- concrete solution.
Firstly, is counting on the pit and dug shallow.
Note.If multistory building, it is best to make a deep foundation in 1 m.
Secondly, the poles are installed and concreted.Above them erect formwork and pour concrete solution.Since there is no possibility to carry out all such works in a single day, pouring is done in stages.
important. strength of such a foundation takes a few weeks.
columnar base
This is a kind of pile foundation.Only now, instead of piles using concrete pillars.They can also be built of brick.Above the surface of the soil so the foundation should extend 30-50 cm.
important. Well suited is the base on soils that are prone to flooding groundwater.Due to the fact that the structure will be placed at a height no moisture will cause its destruction.
What is the foundation needed for home from a bar?The technology of this type of foundation structures is fairly simple.Originally dug deeper into 1-1.5 m. They laid brick columns or installed ready.These were then filled with concrete mortar, in which in addition to the standard ingredients added rubble.
slab foundation can be any foundation for the home from a bar.How to choose a known, many do not even know.Most importantly - a preliminary assessment of the technical and quality indicators of soil, groundwater occurrence level.MDF base is considered to be the least popular.This is due to the fact that it can not be used in any soil.It has underground supports, and in the event of flooding areas of the plate can deform and move.All of this occurs even with a good connection.
build it on the surface of the soil with a small recess.Previously in the seats assigned to it do podsypku of sand and rubble.Also paves insulation, can protect the structure from moisture and adverse weather impacts.Then, stacked plates, the gaps between them are filled with concrete mortar.In some cases, the valve is used, which is laid on top of the slabs and poured concrete.
