Gravel pad is perfect for building foundations of private houses.

the sand surface should be as smooth as possible;
the bulk material is carefully compacted;
The optimal height of the pillow is twenty to forty centimeters.
From gravel
In case of weak soil composition, sand alone is ineffective, and the slovenia mobile database is reinforced with gravel. This preparation option does not allow the foundation to shrink.

The sand-gravel-mixture cushion compares favorably with the previous version as a more durable and long-lasting base, because the main component is gravel.

How is such a foundation made? Before filling the gravel under the monolithic foundation slab, the bottom of the trench is lined with river coarse sand, which is leveled and compacted. After that, gravel is poured up to twenty to twenty-five centimeters high. Everything is compacted to prevent the formation of empty areas.


Sand and gravel
If you have chosen this option for a foundation pad for your home, you will need to complete the following work:

the pit or trench along the bottom is laid with rubble, the diameter of which should not exceed fifteen centimeters. If the depth of the pit allows, and you assume that the load from the object will be significant, the rubble is allowed to be laid in two layers;
a layer of gravel up to ten to twenty centimeters high is poured;
After this, a layer of sand is laid to cover the gravel;
everything is generously moisturized;
if necessary, sand can be added and watered again until the surface has a sandy crust;
The area is compacted and watered again.
