The first three letters indicate the type of block (F – foundation, B – block, C – solid);
Three numbers separated by a dot (sometimes a hyphen is used): the first number indicates the length, the second number indicates the width, and the third number indicates the height of the product;
The last letter indicates the type of concrete (C – silicate, T – heavy, P – porous).
Advice! Make a preliminary layout of the construction south africa mobile database in a computer program, taking into account the offsets during installation. After you know the required dimensions and quantity, you can order FBS from the seller. A short step-by-step installation instruction is described in our video at the end of the article.
Attention! In places where communications will be connected to the house, special elements with holes are laid.
The width of the trenches is such that blocks can be freely placed in them and waterproofed.
Before you start building a foundation from blocks, you need to properly conduct geological studies to determine the depth of the zero cycle and determine the depth of soil freezing.
The next stage is preparing the site. The top fertile soil layer is removed. The surface is leveled and communications are brought to the future foundation. If necessary, a water drain is made in advance for the future drainage system.
On the prepared area, you need to mark out the area for the building using a theodolite or pegs, string and a level.
Next, they begin excavation work. A pit is dug in the form of several trenches, repeating the location of the building's load-bearing walls, according to the plan. If a large building is being built, it is advisable to hire an excavator.
Important! The width of the trenches is made such that it is possible to freely place the blocks in them and perform their waterproofing. The size of the blocks themselves is selected depending on the weight and number of storeys of the future house, according to the load-bearing capacity.
