Make Foundation up into Three-story

Hello friends, how are you? I hope you are alright with everything to yourself. You already know which topic will be discussed today. I will give you knowledge about the building foundation up to the three-story building. In the case of Nepal, after the Earthquake on 2072/01/12 Nepal government decided to need to follow the building construction guidelines.

Make Foundation up into Three-storyWhat is the foundation of the building?How to construct a foundation?What is the Dimension of the foundation?

The Earthquake resistance building should essential to construct after that earthquake. More than more buildings are effect by the earthquake. Many kinds of techniques should follow to construct earthquake buildings. So, friends, this article is for you about building construction technology tips.

Here we will discuss only one component of the building. Which is the Building Foundation. But one thing today in this article will explain that buildings which is up to three-story building not more than three stories.

These foundation techniques are followed to the maximum three-floor building. Which type of building is to construct in the village area? More than effective in the village area by the earthquake.

So more than more technical knowledge should require when the building should be constructed in the village area. First of all, you need to know about the foundation. What is the foundation? How to construct a foundation? How does it work? This topic is to be included in this article. Let’s go

 

What is the foundation of the building?

Foundation is an important component of the building. Without the foundation, the building should not safe from an earthquake. It is the base of the building which is transfers super-structure load to the soil. All the loads of the building are directly transferred to the ground soil by the building foundation.

All the loads of building should carry out in the foundation. So the foundation is the most important component of the building.

It is the load transfer with the vertical direction to the ground soil. Also called the foot of the building. Building load should be resisted by the foundation. So it is the essential component of the building.

 

How to construct a foundation?

First of all the designer and contractor should know how much foundation should construct for one building that is resistant to the earthquake. After finding out the number of foundations then construct the trench. The dimension of the foundation is different from the different floors of the building.

Today in this article I will describe the three-floor building. The dimension for the building is listed below with the masonry. The required dimension of the foundation to construct is to remove the soil and stone on the trench. All the trench construction then another process starts. Which is masonry work.

 

What is the Dimension of the foundation?

This topic is an important part of this article. In the village area, different kinds of masonry are not available but somewhere excess transportation is available the masonry is also available.

Masonry is like stone masonry, and brick masonry blocks (which are conducted by cement, sand, and aggregate but this masonry should not use in the foundation).

Today I will explain all types of masonry and the size of the foundation floor-wise. In the village area, different types of mortar are also used to construct a building wall foundation. Which are cement sand mortar and soil mortar.

For the construction of earthquake resistance buildings in the village area, these flowing points are essential.

 

If the building has one floor these technical terms are to be used to make the building foundation. 

If brick masonry and cement sand mortar are used to join the wall of the foundation, foundation the size of the foundation is

Breath = 3’6” to 5’-0″

Height = 3’6” to  5’-0″

If stone masonry and cement sand mortar are used to join the wall of the foundation, foundation size is

Breath = 3’6” to 5’-0″

Height = 3’6” to  5’-0″

If the brick masonry and soil mortar are used to join the foundation wall, the foundation size is

Breath = 3’6” to 5’-4″

Height = 3’6” to  5’-0″

These are the most important points when earthquake resistance building should construct up to one floor.

If the building maximum of three floors these technical terms are to be used to make the building foundation. 

If brick masonry and cement sand mortar are used to join the wall of the foundation, foundation the size of the foundation is

Breath = 5’-4″

Height = 5’-0″

If stone masonry and cement sand mortar are used to join the wall of the foundation, foundation size is

Breath = 5’-0″ to 5’-4″

Height = 5’-0″

If the brick masonry and soil mortar are used to join the foundation wall, the foundation size is

Breath = 5’-0″ to 5’-6″

Height = 5’-6″

These are the most important points when earthquake resistance building should construct up to a maximum of three floors.

So, friends, these technical terms should use for the construction of building the foundation up to the different floors.

Finally, I will suggest to you one of the important terms for making building a foundation. One layer of brick soling should be constructed than 3”(inch) PCC (plane cement concrete ) with a 1:2:4 ratio is essential. After this process is complete and then start another.  This condition fulfills up to the plinth level of the building.

I hope this article is helpful to you. What is the most important topic for you in this article after visiting? If you like and help this post please share it with your friends and others also. you can suggest if you have any suggestions for me.
