Prefabricated point foundations
PREFABRICATED POINT FOUNDATIONS FOR SHALLOW FOUNDATIONS
Precast point foundation is a reinforced concrete element consisting of bonded reinforcement embedded in a partially precast concrete element that acts as a formwork. The geometric dimensions and the amount of steel reinforcement are determined by static calculations made on the basis of the load distribution of internal stresses and the bearing capacity of the soil.
DIMENNSIONS
Prefabricated foundations can be produced in various shapes and dimensions to meet all structural and static requirements.
The dimensions of the prefabricated point foundation are 2.5 x 2.5 x H, where the height H is adjustable according to the static requirements of the individual construction. Also, the width of the foundation is adjustable by implementing a wider AB base plate, which is connected to a prefabricated point foundation of fixed floor plan dimensions.
ASSEMBLY
During the assembly process, the precast foundation is placed on the pre-prepared concrete base (1), then the precast column together with the bent rebars is placed on the precast point foundation (2). The upper reinforcing bars are inserted into the foundation and the column is fixed to the foundation with steel plates (3). the foundation is filled with concrete (4). The work is completed by removing all fasteners (5).).
Steel angles are used for assembly and alignment of the assembly column. These enable easy, fast and precise assembly.
During the production phase of the precast foundation, four anchor bolts remain inside the central concrete walls, while the precast column is equipped with eight threaded joints. The steel angles are attached to the anchor bolts with nuts and to the mounting post with bolts.
This system not only allows for the alignment of the mounting post with pinpoint accuracy, but also eliminates the need for additional supports during assembly.
