Soil under the foundation and its features

When you build a house, you should pay great attention to the foundation. This part of the building carries the entire structure, and it is through the foundation that the whole building presses on the base – on the ground.  When the builder chooses the type of foundation, he base his decision on many factors. But the most important thing is that everything should remember – the house stands on the basis, but binds them and unites one in one foundation. Violate the builder technology for erecting the foundation and idyliy of the entire structure will be violated. And in order for the foundation to be built correctly, it is necessary to understand what is the base of your home.

As mentioned above, the building presses on the base through the foundation. This compresses the base. Therefore, it is always necessary to take into account the murder of the soil both vertically and horizontally. You need to understand how much it will be deformed and how much to resist the loads. If the soil is weak, it simply will not stand under the power of the house, which will lead to sediment, shifts, rolls and other problems in the foundation. And this is all very, very bad for your home.

What to do if the soil is not able to withstand the necessary loads?

If the soil does not satisfy the requirements of construction, then before the construction of the foundation, it is fixed. You can fix the soil with compaction, silication, cementing or bituminization. Keep in mind that only a specialist can do such a process who understands what he does and how to do it. If you do not want your whole house to tilt, then it is worth calling the masters. The foundation is generally not joking. Most prefers to call builders to build the foundation.

The base can be made of abyss of soil or non -poudy soil. The first type perfectly misses and holds water, and in the winter season they under the influence of humidity, freeze and expand their dimensions. If this happens, then the foundation is clumsy upstairs, and as soon as it starts to heat, everything will settled again.  These weather movements have heavy loads on the foundation of the building.  To solve the situation with such soils, use the type of foundation with increased rigidity of the ground part.
