The foundation is the supporting part of the building. It redistributes the load from the supporting structure on the soil of its base. The material that is used in the construction of the foundation, the depth on which it is laid, and the design depends on the type of load on the foundation and geological conditions of the development area. The choice of the foundation must be approached with all responsibility, so it is quite difficult to repair a low -quality foundation, and this can significantly increase the cost of construction. The foundation is made of reinforced concrete or concrete elements, or from their combinations. When choosing it, the type of type is analyzed and calculated on the forces of the foundation design. The construction of the soil, the level of groundwater, and soil type may affect construction work.
When laying the foundation, it is necessary to pay due attention to its insulation. Heat loss with a poor -quality foundation can be up to 20% of all heat loss in the building. Therefore, the thermal insulation system will reduce the unjustified heat loss in the basements. The insulated foundation makes it possible to avoid such troubles as mold, fungus, damp, condensate on the surfaces of the building.
