    The document discusses raft (mat) foundation applications and provides details on the different layers used. It describes that hardcore is typically a 15 cm thick layer of stone chips or crushed rubble poured under lean concrete to provide waterproofing. A sand layer or more lean concrete can then be applied. It also notes that geotextiles/felt are used to separate insulation layers, allow water drainage, and prevent clogging of drainage pipes. Finally, it provides a summary of the raft foundation process which involves excavation, compaction, hardcore and lean concrete layers to minimize settling, and applying water insulation to the lean concrete to prevent groundwater from reaching rebars.

    Hardcore is the layer that is generally composed of stone chips or
    crushed rubble (moloz) poured under lean concrete and is a good
    precaution against waterproofing, which is recommended to be poured
    with a thickness of 15 cm. A sand layer or the lean concrete layer can be
    applied afterwards.

    BOHÇALAMA (TANKING)

    prevents mold

    best for areas

    What is geotextile/felt used for?


    • Separation of water and heat

    insulation layers from each other

    • Protection of insulation, drainage

    of excess water

    • Prevention of clogging of drainage

    pipes by wrapping

    • For the prevention of collapses on

    roads and railways and

    • It is used in drainage systems.

    The raft foundation begins with the excavation process.


    MAT/RAFT
    Compaction + harcore layers, then 10 cm thick lean concrete
    is poured. Thus, the transfer of small settlements on the FOUNDATIONS
    ground affecting the building’s foundation is minimized.

    The foundation formwork is nailed around the lean concrete


    or a brick wall is built according to the raft foundation height.

    In order to prevent groundwater from reaching the foundation


    rebars, water insulation is applied on lean concrete.

    The main plumbing pipes are placed inside the foundation. Elevator pitch is prepared
    Rebars are extended above for columns and shear walls.
