For the construction of wooden, panel board, frame or other light buildings, it is customary to use a columnar foundation.. It is distinguished by its reliability and low cost. The main requirement for the construction of such a foundation is the presence of solid ground. Columnar foundations are not suitable for the construction of basement-type premises.
Foundation pillars are installed at the corners of the house and at the intersection of the load-bearing walls. They can represent asbestos pipes, which are filled with concrete inside. The distances between the posts are covered with rubble or sand. Then the so-called «abivka» is poured, i.e. wall going from pillar to pillar. Such walls help to keep warm and protect underground rooms from moisture and dust. The materials used are brickwork, rubble concrete, concrete, natural stone. Thickness — 10-20 cm.
The positive quality of such a foundation is strength and reliability, as well as the absence of additional thermal waterproofing.
