The concept of heating soil and construction rules

Construction on heaving soils is most favorable for lightweight structures and low -rise buildings. These include objects of the agro -industrial complex, cottages, all kinds of buildings. It is customary to attribute the soil on which clay, sand prevails to the heaving type of soil. It should be borne in mind that with high humidity, this soil tends to significantly increase in volume.

As a rule, for the heaving unreliable soils, in most cases, a monolithic foundation is used or a rather buried tape type. If there is a threat of uneven precipitation of the base, due to the heterogeneity of the soil on the site where it is planned to build a construction site, a strip based on reinforcement should be used.
