Building a foundation for a frame house

Natalia Zinorova order to build their own home and still spend as little money for building materials, we can construct a frame (panel) house. In this article we analyze in detail the first stage of building a house of this type - the creation of the foundation. Construction site preparation and foundation trenches under the first step is to align the place designated for the construction of the house. Once this work is done, you can start laying the foundation. First you need to dig a trench in a certain size. For example, for the house width of 10 meters and a length of 15 meters (10x15 m) is necessary to make a trench the size of the house. The depth of the trench will be 0,75 m - next dig is not necessary, because the frame house is much easier to house a different type (log, brick, panel, etc.). The depth also depends on climatic conditions (coefficient of freezing the top layer of soil), so if you live in the north, to deepen the foundation up to 1,5 m. The width of the future is determined by the foundation from which building material would build a house: for panel homes completely enough to have a foundation of width 50 cm After the trench is ready and lined the walls, install formwork. Decking made from edging boards to the size of the width of the trench, but the height of the formwork must be at least 40 cm above the upper edge of the trench. For the manufacture of formwork required: edged board (II or III grade), the length of an arbitrary (3,4 or 6 m), the thickness of 20-25 mm of bar cross-section 50x50 mm nails (70 mm, 80 mm) When everything is ready, at the bottom of the trench can be sketch bout bricks, stones, broken slate, etc. The thickness of the layer of rubble should be no more than 1 / 3 the depth of the trench. After that, the surface of rubble fell asleep with sand (20 cm) and abundantly watered all the materials with water. We wait until the water will come down again, pour the sand and fill with water again. These actions are carried out not more than three to five times, it all depends on how you will "leave" the sand: when the sand level does not change, then all the spaces between the battle of brick, stone, etc. are filled. And therefore, you can begin to manufacture the frame stiffness for the future of the foundation. For the manufacture of the frame, use pipes, fittings, angles, channels etc. The frame can be welded, although allowed the fixture or other materials for the frame with wire clamps, etc. Doing the groundwork for the foundation of a solution will require the following components: cement M-500 grit fine sand water to prepare a concrete solution will require concrete mixer. If it is a mixer designed for large volume of the finished solution, the ideal proportions of components for the preparation of concrete mix will be as follows: cement 25 kg (half bag) of 75 kg of gravel sand 125 kg water is 12-13 liters (approximate calculation, it all depends on the humidity cement and sand) If the mixer is smaller amounts, then re easy to make, based on the above figures. Having made a concrete mix, pour it into the trench and lightly stamps. Important! Number of ready-mixed concrete shall be calculated that the entire structure will be used on the day of creation. If you do not fulfill this condition and some part of the solution will not be used, it may mean one thing - money down the drain. " Lain all night, finished mixture will harden and be unusable for further use. The next stage of building a frame house - calculation of materials for the walls.
