The foundation is the load-bearing part of the building, receiving loads from all overlying parts of the structure. Based on the type of construction, the following types of foundations are distinguished: strip, columnar, pile, pile-grillage, slab. To fill a monolithic strip foundation, formwork equipment (foundation formwork) is used. In this case, the type of equipment is selected for a specific task: in some cases, large-panel formwork is used, in others, small-panel formwork is more convenient. In addition, there is a lot of information on the Internet on how to make formwork for the foundation with your own hands.
