Concrete base: design, transportation, manufacturing,

The basement is one of the most unique parts of the building, especially if there is a floor at its level. It needs additional protection from various kinds of impacts that are associated with close proximity to the ground. That is why the question of how to make a base of claydite-concrete blocks or aerated concrete material is very interesting for modern masters.

Phased process

Для начала необходимо сказать о том, что использовать подобные конструкции необходимо в строениях, которые не превышают высотой три этажа. Это связанно с тем, что они имеют небольшую прочность и могут требовать комбинирования с другими материалами. Поэтому при строительстве домов большей высоты профессионалы советуют использовать железобетонные цокольные панели (см.также статью «Геополимерный бетон: состав, изготовление и особенности применения»).

Design

This stage is very responsible, since it requires the production of a large number of calculations and knowledge of all necessary quantities, ranging from the strength of certain materials to geological exploration of the soil.

• It should be noted that for the manufacture of projects should use the services of specialists. Otherwise, even a minor mistake can lead not only to a decrease in the life of the foundation, but also to the destruction of the building. Therefore, all projects of aerated concrete houses with a basement floor are checked after their creation and are approved by the relevant authorities.

• Some craftsmen, in order to strengthen the construction and reduce the cost of its construction, prefer to work with building plans that involve the use of a concrete base, on which the block base will be mounted. However, this usually involves cutting the reinforced concrete with diamond circles, which can complicate the process.

Tip! You should not make independent changes to the project, because it will immediately affect the quality of the building. Any additions must be agreed with its originator.

Transportation

Making the base of claydite, you need to take care of the delivery of material to the object.

The fact is that such products can have quite large dimensions and weight.

• Professional masters are trying to purchase this material from companies that include the delivery service in the price. However, it is worth remembering that additional unloading is needed, which may require special equipment.
• Given these circumstances, it is believed that if the work is done by hand, then it is worth using such blocks that can be easily unloaded and laid yourself or with the help of an assistant.

Tip! Vehicles delivering building materials to the site should be used at full capacity. Usually, drivers with a small surcharge agree to take the garbage to the nearest canvas or landfill. It will be much cheaper than ordering special equipment.

Manufacturing

Describe in detail the installation process does not make sense (learn here how to carry out the mixing of concrete).

The fact is that all work must be carried out in strict accordance with the project and its supplement.

• It should be noted that the base of aerated concrete blocks and the like can have different shapes and configurations, which depend on the personal preferences of the designer and his work experience. Therefore, there are a lot of varieties of such products and they all have their own principles of installation.
• It should be noted that some development plans may have inclusions of additional branches from blocks or bricks, which are connected to the base, but are not part of it. It is necessary to approach such systems especially carefully, taking into account their dressing with the main structure.

Tip! All installation must be performed using proven measurement tools. Professional craftsmen always have several water levels and plumb lines on hand.

Waterproofing

Before proceeding to this stage of work, all the necessary diamond drilling of holes in concrete or blocks should be carried out in order to create appropriate technological holes.

• Further, professional craftsmen recommend using special mastic on a bitumen basis, which covers the inside and outside of the structure. It will not allow moisture to affect the structure and this will increase its service life.
• It is important to mention that the installation manual takes the process of draining water away from the building very seriously and can assume the presence of a special drainage system and blind area of ​​the corresponding sample. All such additions must be displayed on the project and clearly carried out by the builders.

Tip! Recently, masters prefer to use rolled materials as waterproofing. It is easier to work with them and they do not take much time.

Warming

This stage of work is no less important when creating ground floors.

It is necessary not only to create a certain temperature inside the building, but also to protect the walls.

• Most often, experts use in such cases polystyrene foam. It has very good technical characteristics, which are necessary for this field.
• There are several options for such insulation, which suggest interior or exterior trim. However, experts recommend resorting to the second option, so that the walls do not sweat, and the dew point was created in a strictly defined place.

• Modern masters very often combine the process of insulation and waterproofing, using new liquid mixtures. They are applied in a thin layer on the outside of the structure, performing both functions. At the same time, the price of such a liquid heater may seem too high, but it pays for itself by multitasking and reducing installation time.

Tip! It is believed that the insulation is best installed on top of waterproofing. Therefore, the material used must very well tolerate high humidity and not lose its qualities. Otherwise, he will need additional protection.

Recommendations of the masters

Some novice builders believe that expanded clay concrete or foam concrete are excellent materials for thermal insulation or insulation.

However, this opinion is erroneous, since the uneven distribution of air bubbles in the material and too loose structure do not allow for the complete removal and retention of heat.

• Quite often, masters try to make keramsit concrete on their own. To do this, you need to know the technical process, have the necessary equipment and strictly observe all proportions.
• Basement designs designed to create multiple rows with an intermediate space are considered more practical and reliable. However, they lead to a large consumption of materials and time.
