What are the benefits of raft foundation?

 

Raft foundation is the most frequently preferred method to meet the foundation needs of high-rise buildings and structures, which allows structures to be placed on the ground with a larger surface area. Among the benefits of raft foundation are the following:

High durability: The raft foundation is constructed in the form of a large layer of concrete and its high strength allows it to better support the weight of the building, providing a solid and reliable foundation that is not affected by ground movements.

Fast and easy installation: Raft foundation can be installed faster and easier than other foundation types. This type of foundation, which is completed by injecting concrete, provides advantages in terms of time and cost in the construction project.

It is not affected by ground movements: The raft foundation ensures that the building or structure sits properly because it has a structure that is not affected by movements in the ground. Thus, damage to the structure is minimized.

Insulation feature: The raft foundation provides insulation in the structure because it contains an air cavity. Thanks to this feature, heat loss is prevented inside the building.

Less need for piles: Raft foundations are cost-effective as they require fewer piles. It requires less material and labor than other foundation types.

Environmentally friendly: The raft foundation allows recycling of building materials. Thus, it offers an environmentally friendly construction option.

Due to these advantages, raft foundation is widely used in high-rise buildings, industrial buildings, commercial buildings and residential projects.

 

How is raft foundation made?

 

Raft foundation is a type of foundation widely used in construction projects. Foundation construction is carried out in a series of steps and can be summarized as follows:

First, the surface of the foundation area is cleaned and leveled. Then, a layer of sand is poured onto the ground and compacted.

In the next step, a thick PVC film is laid under the foundation and sealed tightly around it. This ensures that the concrete does not leak and is not in contact with the ground.

In the second step, a strip frame of thin steel rods is placed on the sides of the foundation. This frame defines the boundaries of the foundation and increases its strength by keeping the concrete inside.

Then, the concrete is prepared. The quality of concrete may vary depending on the characteristics of the construction and the climatic conditions of the region. The concrete is prepared in a concrete mixer and then trucked to the construction site.

The concrete is injected into the strip frame and compacted using a special vibrator. Thus, the concrete is distributed homogeneously over the entire area.

Before the concrete hardens completely, the surface of the foundation is smoothed and leveled. This process ensures that the foundation is properly prepared for the future structure.

Finally, an insulating material is placed on top of the foundation. This creates an air gap under the building and prevents contact with the ground.

A raft foundation is formed by applying all of these steps. This method is especially preferred for high-rise buildings and industrial structures.

 

What should be considered when building a raft foundation?

 

Raft foundation is a type of foundation frequently used in construction projects. There are several important points to consider during foundation construction. These are the following:

Soil analysis Soil analysis is very important in the construction of the foundation. Soil analysis helps calculate the dimensions and strength of the foundation by determining the bearing capacity of the soil. The foundation should not be designed without soil analysis.

Concrete quality: The quality of the concrete to be used in foundation construction is very important. The durability of concrete affects the life and safety of the construction. The quality of the concrete may vary depending on the climatic conditions of the region, the characteristics of the construction and its height.

Strip frame: A strip frame placed at the edges of the foundation, it is a structure that increases the strength of the foundation and holds the concrete inside. Having the correct size and shape of the strip frame increases the durability of the foundation.

Vibration: For homogeneous distribution of concrete in the raft foundation, a special vibrator is used. The correct use of the vibrator ensures that the concrete is evenly distributed over the entire area.

Smoothness: Before the concrete hardens, the surface of the foundation must be smoothed. This process prepares a suitable foundation for the future structure and prevents possible deformations.

Insulation: Insulation material placed on top of the foundation creates an air gap under the building and prevents contact with the ground. Choosing the right thickness and properties of the insulation material increases the energy efficiency of the building.

Paying attention to these important points ensures that the raft foundation is done correctly and increases the safety and durability of the construction.
