The increasingly massive nature of suburban individual construction constantly stimulates an increase in interest in various new technologies for the construction of buildings. Each innovation promises certain benefits, and only when choosing the foundation do most customers show quite definite conservatism, preferring the so -called strip. Such a foundation has many advantages, and not the last place is occupied by the relative simplicity of its laying. However, the possibilities that are provided by choosing a strip foundation are also important.
Among these capabilities, in particular, the possibility of arranging a full -fledged basement floor. In addition, in a house with a strip foundation, you can build a larger design – a garage located underground. Of course, instead of such a garage, you can equip a more familiar cellar, and the strip foundation is quite universal so that it can be built on the hill slope, or on fragile soil. In the latter case, however, piles will be required to ensure stability.
One of the main advantages of this type of foundation is traditionally considered the ability to support massive structures, especially thick walls of significant weight. The strength of a monolithic strip foundation, which is considered the most popular, provides a reliable support for the construction of large and heavy buildings. However, the simplicity of the design of this foundation is somewhat deceiving – you need to remove a lot of soil, that is, to do hard and voluminous work.
Strengthen the strength of strip foundations helps reinforcement. This procedure can be performed even by non -professionals and at the same time it significantly increases the reliability of the entire structure. The depth of the foundation depends on several parameters: the size of the building, terrain and soil properties.
