Is it possible to somehow reduce spending? It turns out there is! Moreover, this method of arranging the base of the house is not

More than one millennium has passed since the appearance of concrete as a building material, but scientific institutions and construction companies are still struggling to improve its technical characteristics. At the beginning of the 20th century, the first scientific developments on dispersed concrete reinforcement appeared,

There is an ironic saying among builders: "there are no building materials from which it is impossible to rivet the formwork." However, in order to get a high-quality and reliable bearing base, the selection of materials and the choice of design should be approached extremely scrupulously.

A person who decides to build a country house or a summer cottage with his own hands sometimes does not represent the entire amount of work to be done along the way. If everyone initially thinks about the construction of the foundation, walls and roof, then about the issues of protecting these structures from external influences

Often used in the construction of private houses and cottages, strip foundations can not be poured on all soils. Where groundwater runs close to the surface, in areas with flooding, moving and floating soils, reinforcement of the foundation structure is required everywhere.

If the foundation is chosen correctly, any structure will last long enough.

During the construction of a building for any purpose, the question of its moisture insulation is often acute, because the water that often enters the room from the ground can significantly reduce the service life of the building, destroying it prematurely. To eliminate this problem, bituminous mast is used.
