Types of Foundation
Strip
Strip foundations are the most common type used because they offer good strength for their cost. They are created by excavating a trench deep enough to avoid damage to the foundation caused by changes in the topsoil. Usually the trench has to be dug until clay is reached. The bottom of the trench is covered with at least 150mm of concrete. If the site slopes, one or more steps may be built into the concrete with forms that guide the depth. Once the footings are complete, cavity walls are built up to finished ground level, either in brick and block or, block and the trench and cavity are backfilled up to finished ground level.
There are three types of strip foundation - traditional shallow strip, as described above, wide strip, used when the load of the structure is high relative to the weight bearing capacity of the subsoil and deep strip (also known as trenchfill foundations). Wide strip foundations are laid in exactly the same way as standard strip foundations except that the trench is much wider and reinforcement is frequently used to economise on concrete. The time that it takes to dig these trenches and build the walls means that wet weather may hamper the process - if the trench floods, its walls may collapse and so it is advisable to try and complete the work during a dry spell!
Deep strip or trenchfill foundations have narrower trenches filled with concrete to within two brick courses of finished ground level. Accuracy is important if walls are to be central and although materials for this type of foundation are more expensive, it is much easier and takes considerably less time to construct. Deep strip foundations can also be reinforced and they are accepted as a suitable alternative to wide strip foundations in soft clay subsoil. They should be at least 400mm wide and 900mm deep.
