Building over black cotton with Suspended foundation using Beam2beam flooring .

Constructing on Black cotton soil in Kenya. Black cotton soil is found abundantly in most regions in Kenya. Black cotton soil tends to soak water during the rainy season and expand and shrink during the dry season. This expansion and shrinkage creates up and down movements on the ground floor slab, resulting to cracks. To prevent this cracking, the black cotton soil is either excavated at a minimum depth of 1m or the building foundation raised and suspended above the ground level. 1.5m minimum depth. Generally, if the black cotton soil is more than 1.5m in depth, its uneconomical to excavate it. This requires a suspended type of foundation whereby columns are dug till solid rock and protrude slightly above the ground level. Beam 2 beam flooring is a big saver to suspend a foundation without the need to use timber props and steel . For quotes share your plans to [email protected]
