Thanks for the video on Foundations.
Reading through Codes is bundles of joy !
Is there a dry stack one. Though I saw one do a dry stack Foundation in Montana. Then there codes are different and they're not a Seismic Zone either. I just think it's fun to know how it originated back in the day.
Warm here too. Sometimes I'll take a shower to cool off.
What about rammed earth?
Maybe i can use number 4.....but onlu do where the walls are and not the whole floor in concrete?
Great video, thanks. Insulating under the slab with rigid insulation was not mentioned, and I am wondering if you would place the plastic vapour barrier under or over such insulation?
Question for you!, im interest in building a work shop at maybe earth bermed or at least backfill against 3 of the 4 walls on a slope, my thoughts are to pour a grade slab and slip forms for the walls at the floors the same day but not at the same time, because no gud way to support the inside slip forms above the grade. But if i pour the footer and floor grade 1st and while concrete firm but still green set the forms for the berm wall and pour them? Would they bond properly or would cause the green concrete to fail? Thanks nate
I loved hearing the cows in the background, lol.
Question about rubble trenches: with all the weight of the walls on the trench, I never understood how it doesn't collapse the drainage pipe and then the wall sinks a few inches?
The weight basically gets distributed and doesn't directly crush the pipe. We'd really need to get an engineer or physicist to answer this accurately though.
Hello, thanks for the video! Just a bit confusing, for the stem wall, there is less drainage as shown in the video, so won't the rubble trench still have the better drainage ability even after clugged up? From what I understand, the main advantage of those foundations contain concrete is due to the load capacity and code compliance?
Yes, there are so many nuances here.
You can actually put the same drainage systems under/around all of these foundation styles. So, the rubble trench isn't really the only one with drainage. I just didn't draw drainage systems on the other ones here.
Yes, loading and permitting are definitely advantages to the other 3 styles. Also better in seismic zones than the rubble trench.
@@thiscobhouse Thanks for the clarification!
Hi Alex. I live in a rural area in southern Mexico. There is not much need for "permits". In my area, the ground is mostly Tyoe A or Type B. There are lots of concrete, cinder block two storires houses around. We do not have "froze line" during winter. (or at least I´ve never hear people mentioning it) Our main concern is rain. Providing the use of geo-textile to protect the trench´s wall, Would you still recommend system No. 2 over System No. 1 in as explained in your video? Thank you
What’s the cost per acre there?
Yes, for sure! It will cost more, but #2 is better than #1. In my opinion. That's what I would do.
I'm not worried about codes and stuff
What's a water barrier?
Okay, good question. The only water barrier I know so far for the top of the stemwall is to use a black tar paint. It's normally used on basement walls.
