No matter how beautiful the building is, it holds on by no means an attractive foundation. It is a basis on which it will depend on how long and tightly the building will be. In order to make a choice in favor of one of the many types of foundation, it is necessary to take into account many factors. Firstly, these are soil features. In different areas of one residential city or village of soils, can be completely different in their consistency and composition. Therefore, before filling the foundation, you need to find out which soil will be located under it. If the soil is not strong enough to withstand the future building, it must be strengthened with cement, bitumen or silicate.
The second aspect is the features of the building itself. The selected foundation should be so strong as to withstand the building, taking into account not only the main walls and partitions, but also the entire decoration, as well as the roof. Attention should be paid to groundwater, which can spoil even the highest quality foundation in a matter of months if it is erected below their level.
Modern bases for buildings are classified according to several signs. In terms of deepening, they are divided into buried and shallowed. According to the method of filling and installation, foundations are classified as monolithic and prefabricated. In other words, one base will be a single area of building material, the second will consist of several parts. By design, the base of the building can be strip, slab, columnar or pile. Depending on what place, with what soil, as well as taking into account all the characteristics of the future building, the ideal option for the foundation will be selected, which will ensure the construction of a strong basis for a long time.
