Digging Foundations & Footings for house extensions in London, concrete.
http://www.learningconstruction.com Step by Step Tutorial: This video will show you the different types of foundations that are commonly used in residential and commercial construction. …
What Slump was that LOL
That’s how it’s done!
Wow that was boring
way too much water
Plz.. add and explain other types like grillage, pier and cassions etc.
Hi, nice videos and quick question, I´m about 6 blocks away from a river, I
want to build a one story house with one bedroom, bathroom,kitchen and
living room, what type of footings would be best suited for loose ground
and by this I mean I get water on the ground at about 60 cm down, which I
have to pump out when digging holes etc. on my property, depending on
amount of rain lately and water level of the river….?????
I use your video all the time for my students and appreciate your animated
illustrations. At 1:30 you say the wall footings are mostly used for
retaining walls. In the Northeast, this type of construction is typical in
residential dwellings that have basements and high rise buildings. Perhaps
you could include that in your narrative. It would be nice if you could
elaborate more in your video on the two components of this type of
foundation and the purpose of each: the spread footing that distributes the
weight of the foundation laterally on ground and the foundation wall which
withstands the compressive force of the weight of the building (typically a
wood frame structure) and transfers it to the spread footing. Also please
note that is is very common to see combinations of the types footings that
you show on one job site. Some folks may miss that point. Thank you for the
video it is useful in helping people understand foundation components.
Great tutorial ! Understanding level, plumb, and square are the basics for
sure.
Hi there …nice video about foundations…well I have doubt on slab on
grade foundation….
*In slab foundation,the slab is only supported on the footing
perimeter.Then will the slab bear the load at the middle.
good video thanx 2 u
I appreciate your information and i like your video.
you got mail.
great presentation and thank for taking the time to do them. Can you add on
more just a little bit on the real world application such as code
requirements i.e provide magnitudes on thickness width / on one story and
two story-building and so forth.
Civil engineers…….today develop the infrastructures…..
This video tutorial is short yet helpful. Thanks!
Brother And called the program that you do the video
Hi, I appreciate the information and I’d like to add something to your
video, you forgot about pile foundation which is used depending on the type
of soil we have at the site.
Hi. You do good video’s with lots of good information. Thank you for the
videos. I’d like to see you go into more detail about the width of the
concrete footing,the thickness,and most importantly, the rebar. Alot of the
videos show two strings of rebar going around the foundation. I’ve got a
question. How do you tie together the horizontal portion of the foundation
to the vertical portion? Surely, one doesnt just sit on the other with no
rebar tying the two together.
What is the best way to learn how to build a small off grid home? Something
under 700 square feet. Google “tumbleweed homes” for an example of what I’m
talking about. They have some plans built on wheels, but I’m referring to
the ones with a permanent foundation. Are there classes I can take to learn
this? I don’t even know where to start. I know I can’t practically do
everything myself. But I’d like to do as much as possible on my own to
offset unnecessary expenses. Any suggestions?
U shud add multistorey building Its rebar method. Tension n compn areas.
Concrete qty methid. Proportions. Surveying techniques
I am going to build a barn. The slope of the grade is about 20″ lower on
one side over a 24 ft. span How do I make it level to pour a concrete slab?
Too bad I couldn’t hear it since I’m in class.
Well, a soils engineer and a structural engineer can help you better with
this question as I don’t know the actual bearing capacity of the soil you
are working with. And also depends on the live and dead loads of the
structure you are planning to build. A slab on grade or a mat slab could be
a good start
VERY NICE
There is a few factors that might help your case. since is a barn, your
slab may have a slope to drain to the outside, for example 1% (depends on
design) this helps a little on the slope. however, i dont know what side
the slope is? on the front of the building or the back? where does it the
water naturally drain? as you need to maintain water away from the
building, your answer lies on how you can accomplish that. eather by fill
the sloped area to the highest elevation, or cut
the slope to the lower elevation and build a retaining wall with french
drainage on the higher side. another idea is to grade the to the middle
point and re-grade the area around the slab. Again, these are only
speculations, because I cannot see the conditions of your field, and
overall design. I hope this helps answer your questions, and if you build
it send me some pics!
Thanks for sharing!
LOL. i have to admit, you game a good laugh. thank you for your observation
and i appreciate your honest criticism. I stated that there are very common
on trellises, patio covers, homes, manufactured buildings, and above ground
building with perimeter walls. Anyways, This vid was to show how they
looked. I would like to add more ad more info, what would like to see?
