The construction of the base is not as difficult as can seem. The main thing here – respect for the sequence of actions and the conventional technologies. Construction jobs have to begin with scheduling. The view of the base and technology of earthwork operations are chosen depending on structure of the soil, level of underground waters.
The beginning of laying of the foundation has to be carried out only after when all materials, necessary for work, are defined and prepared. Building materials should be stored in close proximity with building site. It is possible to leave those that are waterproof under the open sky.
All works on the basis device together with introduction at home to operation should be spent for one construction season. Otherwise there is risk of deformation of the base without loading of walls, roof and overlappings.
What to begin works on base construction with
At first it is necessary to define composition of the ground and also height at which underground waters lie. For this purpose on the site intended for construction dig hole with depth of one meter. If in composition of the ground the stone, sand and gravel, and in hole is not present water that specifies deeply its bedding, it is possible to manage the simple base of tape type. If in hole water is, depth of the base should be chosen at least a half-meter, and to choose its type more carefully. The following step – division of land under construction. The fertile soil layer should be removed, on perimeter of future building the trench with necessary depth is dug out. The bottom of trench has to be leveled – for this purpose the sand layer keeps within there.
Filling of the base
To flood the base, it is necessary to arrange timbering from boards or plywood sheets. For filling concrete from cement mix with filler is used. Mixing ratio – one part of cement, three parts of sand coarse-grained, five parts of filling brick. This structure should be parted with water to consistence of dense sour cream. Durability of concrete foundation depends on density of solution. Its width has to be more, than at wall, approximately on 20 cm. If for construction of the base use bricks, stone, blocks, carry out laying on cement slurry. Begin it from sandy pillow. It is desirable to reinforce the basis with use of metal rods, fastening them with lashing wire. The basis waterproofing has to be by all means executed. On ground level make mortgaging of roofing material to the base then bring it to the necessary height. That part of construction that is underground, should be missed the mark in several layers with hot bitumen. It is necessary to level the base by means of level. It is necessary to take care of inlet openings for the sewerage and water supply system. Above waterproofing course it is better to execute the base from blocks or bricks. In opposite walls to leave air vents that under floor there was no dampness. When the base is ready, the waterproofing has to be made – roofing material or other similar insulating material is used.
