Ground slabs are the newest product offered by Izodom 2000 Polska and can be successfully used instead of traditional continuous strip footings and foundation walls. This is a concrete slab cast on the building site and reinforced with classic steel rods or steel fibre reinforcement.
Basic formwork components produced by Izodom are used in its execution. These enable obtaining varied shapes of slabs - according to the design of the structure being built. The designer must decide on the class of concrete and the quantity of steel fibre reinforcement.
The thickness of the ground slab is 25 cm. In exceptional cases, at the designers request - it is possible to increase the thickness to as much as 40 cm, by using a special plate increasing the height of the edge component - and so increasing the thickness of the reinforced concrete slab. The thickness of the insulation may be increased by successively 6, 8, 10 or 12 cm using auxiliary ground slabs. Additionally, slabs may be advanced beyond the external contour of the ground slab to a distance of approximately 1.5 metre in order to ensure protection against the possibility of ground freezing beneath the ground slab.
Advantages of the ground slab:
Quick execution.
Thanks to the use of our components it is possible to considerably shorten the time of building foundations and essentially
Stability.
The ground slab is a monolithic component, much more stable than the presently used continuous strip footings and foundation walls.
