The monolithic type of foundation is usually made in areas that have highly located groundwater, and also on the heaving and subsidence types of soils. This type of soil has a purpose for creating a concrete pillow for basement, basement and first floors of all buildings from protection from moisture. After the foundation was chosen, you can start work on its arrangement, as well as the place and its laying depth. First you need to dig a trench and lay a pillow of sand with gravel into it. After which the formwork is installed and strengthened and strengthened, a frame from the reinforcement is assembled and installed in it.
After all the work was carried out, the final stage for the arrangement of the foundation comes, which consists in pouring it.
The monolithic type of foundation has such a name, due to the fact that concrete is poured out immediately and in large numbers. This is necessary to save time and effort.
In the length of the groove in order to serve concrete should be at least one and a half meters. It is necessary to pour concrete so that it does not fall into one place, and there is no stratification, due to inconvenience with its distribution by formwork.
So that the concrete can be more evenly distributed by formwork, it is necessary to ensure the convenient access of the mixer to the places of its filling. If there is no such possibility, then you can increase the length of the gutter by which concrete enters.
The long type of gutters can be made very easily by putting it from the boards. The surface inside the gutter should be covered with polyethylene or linoleum. Using this gutter, you can evenly distribute concrete on formwork. A more expensive way to pour concrete will be the use of concrete pump.
Having an arrow of a telescopic appearance, you can easily distribute concrete of fifty meters on formwork by formwork.
This type of filling of monolithic concrete is the most expensive, and it is very difficult to cope with it yourself.
