From a fairly wide range of types of foundation, it is more advisable to choose the tile foundation if it is supposed to build a relatively small structure without a high basement. It can be not only the house, but also any other buildings.
What are the advantages of a tile foundation?
This, of course, is a low price. It is formed from the following indicators. Firstly, the deepening of such a foundation goes by no more than 50 cm. So, investments in excavation are saved. Secondly, the cost of the underlying layer of sand is also small, because it requires only 10-20 cm. Thirdly, the purchase and laying of a monolithic reinforced concrete slab used in such structures also will not hit the wallet much to the wallet. It should have on average a thickness of 200 – 250 mm, specific numbers will depend on the size of the built structure. Then you have to make a leveling concrete layer (8 cm), a cement-sand screed (20 cm) and a road plate in the end. The plate itself can be operated as a floor.
Another indisputable advantage of this type of foundation is the reliability of operation in places with problem soil (underground waters, weak soil, mobile or soil, which has uneven compressibility). The tile foundation is hard reinforced over the entire working surface, so it can cope with similar problems.
In addition, work on creating such a foundation is extremely simple and allow saving time.
If a building with a tile foundation is built in areas with a harsh climate, then it is more advisable to warm it. For thermal insulation, the foam is placed around the entire perimeter of the future building, and the edges of the foundation are made in somewhat thickened. True, it should be noted that foaming is very quickly disadvantaged, to strengthen it, you can use chlorinyl plastic, which is usually glued with mastic.
Therefore, the tile foundation is the best solution when you need to quickly build a massive low -rise building on the surface with unstable soil.
