Designing cimientos corridos for special areas like garages and pools requires understanding load demands and continuous pour benefits. These strategies ensure enhanced stability and integrity, accommodating unique functional and spatial requirements .
Foundation plans dictate the depth and extent of excavation required to align with structural designs. These determine when to employ massive versus simple excavation approaches, ensuring foundations sit securely below ground for stability .
Interior leveling and tamping, performed manually with tools like picks and wheelbarrows, ensure the terrain meets the precise level needed for flooring after foundation work. Tamping compacts the soil for stability and level consistency .
Key considerations during the leveling of terrain include removing excess soil or filling with appropriate material to meet specified requirements. It is crucial to maintain the terrain level above the street to prevent future flooding from rain or water currents .
The solado acts as a thin concrete base layer for structural elements' alignment and reinforcement placement. It's important to consider site requirements and potential building expansions, as the solado provides the foundation for enlarging to more floors .
Continuous pours for cimientos corridos, made of cyclopean concrete, ensure a seamless and robust base for walls, minimizing structural weaknesses and effectively supporting loads, crucial for areas like garages and pools .
Massive excavations involve using a backhoe to remove 20 cm of soil for leveling and removing organic material . Simple excavations, completed manually or with small equipment like palanas and buggies, are used to dig areas according to the foundation plan, ensuring the foundation level is below ground level .
Cuts involve manually reducing terrain elevations or mounds that exceed the planned surface level, ensuring the site conforms to design specifications, and facilitating subsequent construction processes .
Poor-quality excavated material, unsuitable for fill, requires sourcing quality materials like oversized stone and sand to ensure stability and moisture control, alleviating issues related to compaction and long-term structural integrity .
Using borrowed material becomes necessary when excavated material is of poor quality. In the described construction, over-sized stones and sand were used to improve moisture absorption and ensure compactness after compacting with fill .
