You want to build your own house and rushed in search of different options and methods for filling the foundation. STOP! Do not rush. First, determine what type of soil on your site, because competently selected technologies for erecting the foundation are the key to the successful construction of the whole house and plus significant saving of materials in the future. So what are the soil types? Sandy soil, which has a homogeneous structure, is one of the most satisfactory types of soil, since it consists of sand of a large fraction and soil. The foundation on such soil will be evenly deposited, without baking and without deforming during sediment. This type of soil is called the “Dream of the Developer” because the costs of such a foundation are minimal. Sandy – clay soils, a rather complicated type, because when moisture enters the ground, it becomes viscous, and in the cold season, freezing, put pressure on the design of the foundation itself. On such types of soil, a deepening of the foundation of the foundation to the depth of freezing, in the form of drilling and pile filling is used. Peat soils, the type of such soil is considered the most difficult. It occurs extremely rarely, but if your site still has such soil, then you should “cut” the upper layer as much as possible and fall asleep with sandy soil. When you know exactly what type of soil on your site, you need to decide from which material your house will be built. After all, the choice of materials from which you are going to build this is one of the main criteria for the practicality of your home in the future. If when choosing the type of foundation, you took into account all the features of the soil on your site in advance, and not when the piles are injected or the formwork design is made, then feel free to start work.
