Types of Concrete Foundations

There are three types of foundations in concrete construction. These are slab-on-grade, frost-protected, and T-shaped. Let’s take a look at the three types. 

T-shaped

This type of concrete foundation is mostly done to support structures in areas where the land freezes.  In this type of foundation, we usually place a footing below the frost line. We then add the walls on top of it. The footing is usually made wide to support the base of the foundation.

We will then place a T-shaped foundation and allow it to cure. After curing, the walls can be constructed, and slab poured between them.

Frost Protected

Frost protected concrete foundations that are designed to work with heated structures. This type of foundation uses two polystyrene sheets, which help in insulation. One of the sheets is placed outside the foundation wall while the other is laid on the gravel at the base of the wall.

These sheets help prevent heat loss from the slab by holding heat from the structure. The temperature around the footings is therefore kept above the freezing point. 

Slab-on-grade Foundation

This type of foundation uses a slab, which is a single layer of concrete that is usually a few inches thick. While pouring the slab, the edges are made thicker to make a footing. Reinforcing rods are then used to strengthen the thick edges.

The slab is laid on crushed gravel. This improves the drainage. The slab usually has a mesh wire cast into it to reduce cracking.
