(Construction) - The foundation plays an important role in all construction works, if a house wants to be beautiful and solid, the foundation must be strong and safe. Understanding basic foundation concepts and standards will make your construction work easier.
The foundation is the lower structural part of the building, which has the effect of connecting with columns and walls to bear loads...
The foundation is the combination of two elements of the foundation and the foundation, the foundation can also be called the ground foundation, buried deep and well underground, where it bears all the loads of the building. A building with a solid foundation is more solid.
The foundation is the thickness of the layer of soil and rock located at the bottom of the foundation, this foundation layer has the effect of absorbing the above construction load transmitted by the foundation. From there, distribute the load and force around and inside the foundation. The foundation is the lower structural part of the building, which has the effect of connecting with columns and walls to have a bearing effect... The contact surface between the bottom of the foundation and the foundation must be flat, horizontal, without slope.
Building foundations and housing foundations are basically similar, however, the structure, thickness and type of foundation will be different when building each project. The type of foundation will depend on the load, the number of floors, the type of soil where the work is to be built.
The foundation structure accounts for a significant proportion in the construction cost of the rough part. For buildings with basements, the foundation - piles can account for 30% - 40% of the construction cost of the rough part.
When the construction of the structure is completed, the entire foundation is covered, so if there are errors, it is very difficult to detect, if detected, it is also very difficult to fix. Therefore, when building the foundation, it is necessary to execute it carefully to ensure the safety of the work.
In addition, the foundation design, if not carefully calculated, can cause cracks to appear, and if it is heavy, it can directly cause the collapse of the building.
