Stability and strength are the two most important indicators that determine the performance of a structure.
The foundation of the glass type is usually equipped with the construction of industrial buildings.
It is especially important to use it in the construction of one-story columns, which serve to strengthen the floors. The foundation glass has an impressive mass, so installing it yourself is not feasible in practice. However, when using special equipment, this procedure is greatly simplified.
Moreover, the process does not take so much time, and takes place in several stages. The use of especially strong concrete allows to obtain wear-resistant elements that are not afraid of various aggressive influences.

Modern glass-type foundations are made of high-quality reinforced concrete. They can be attributed to one of the varieties of the well-known columnar structures , but the former are characterized by better stability.
They are not just pillars, but a kind of large "shoes" made of reinforced concrete.
They are installed in specially prepared pits, where the surface is thoroughly compacted beforehand.
What are their features?
It cannot be said that in modern realities this method is used so often. But, among others, it has the right to exist.
This type of base is more recommended for frame-type houses of small size. However, their use is justified only in the presence of stable soils - only then there will be an even distribution of the load on the entire base.
Glass-type structures are used for:
A glass foundation will be optimal for a small building made of wood with no more than three storeys.
There are two types of glass foundations:
It is easier to manufacture and more convenient to use monolithic structures. They are characterized by the presence of a horizontal surface, and for prefabricated, a sloping surface is typical.
But, in both versions, the monolithic pillar is located, in relation to the glass, higher.
Column glasses are made of high-quality concrete mortar with the inclusion of reinforced reinforced frames. Such structures have excellent stability, have an impressive service life.
In the structural state, the structure contains the following components:
When all the listed elements are assembled into one structure, a prefabricated glass-type foundation made of reinforced concrete is obtained. Its distinctive feature is the sole, which can have a different area, but usually does not exceed 55 square meters. m.
What special advantages do such glass bases have?
The disadvantages of using this type of bases
include the need to use special heavy equipment:
Currently, various reinforced concrete supports are actively used: the difference lies in their size and weight.
In any construction, it is important to correctly determine the type of necessary elements, which must correspond to the type of the planned buildings and the loads from them!
For the construction of glass structures, it is important to adhere to the prescribed standards. The installation process is not so difficult if you strictly adhere to a certain sequence of work.
Steps for the construction of the foundation
The fact is that reinforced concrete beams will be placed on it, which are strictly forbidden to be displaced.
If the characteristics of the construction site do not allow this, then it is quite possible to add the brought soil and tamp it properly.
A correctly installed glass foundation evenly distributes the loads from the structure over the entire soil surface.
An important condition for this is soil resistant to subsidence, heaving, deformation.
Such its characteristics are necessary for the absence of subsequent subsidence of the structure, the formation of cracks. In other words, they provide the building with reliability, increase its possible service life.
In order to avoid errors when installing the base , the necessary measures must be taken to provide it with the necessary strength.
Observe the technical requirements of the special GOST!
