ADVENTURE IN BUILDING
561 -id
Ground •
(This is the fourth'in ' a series
of articles by Central Mortgage
and Housing Corporation, Fed-
eral housing agency, on build-
ing a house.
The footing is a slab of concrete
on which the foundation wal rests.
It is usually about twice' the width
of the foundation wall ` and any-
where from six- to 14 inches thick.
Its function is to distribute the
weight- of the house over a larger
surface and'7ielji: prevent uneven
settling or sinking.
Thicker or wider footings may
be required where the load-bearing
capacity of the ground is poor.
Where the house is being built on
solid rock, however, footings. may
not be necessary. -
Before concrete is poured, the
groundor footing, bed should be
carefully examined to see that
there are no -soft 'spots. The foot-
ings act as a supporting pad for
the house and therefore any un-
evenness will reduce its effective-
ness. The adding of fill to level
out depressions should be avoided,
as the ground under the footings
should be equally •firm all. around..
Boards or planks are required to
hold the• Concrete together until it
hardens:' They are held firmly. in
place by pegs driven into the
ground. The concrete footing itself
sometimes extends below the bot-
tom of these forms, in which,.case
a footing trench is dug four to six
,inches deep and the same width
as the framed enclosure:' The
sides of the excavated podtion are
cut square and the bottom of the
trench is levelled.
Good drainage is essential: A
ting Settling
few wet spots inside the: farms
need not stop pouring of the con-
crete, but waterpockets of any
size should be drained. Pumping
fresh concrete into forms that are
partly, filled with water -may cause
trouble. Once the concrete has.
begun to harden Or "set", how-
ever, -the presence of water can
actually 1be beneficial;
Footings will also be'required as
a b'ase for posts supporting the
beams, and for the chimney, it it
is to be -built of masonry. These
are usually constructed,, at the
same time as the wall footings.
They should be carefully located,
or the posts will not be properly
centered.
Concrete should be -0 u1 f. good qual-
ity. If the builder is sing ready -
mix concrete the supplier's invoice
1
will show its potentia strength in
h
pounds per square inc L after it has
hardened. As a checksome• sup-
pliers take samples of the concrete
abd
as it is being poured t the build-
ing site and later submit a writ-
ten report 'to the builder.
The effective'', strength of the
concrete depends primarily on the
proportion of sand stone, cement
e
and water used. Ifth ingredients
have been correctly measured at
the mixing plant, no more water
need be added to the mixture at
the building site.
•
Below Frost Line,_
Footings should be carried be-
low the line of frost .penetration
to avoid the risk of structural
damage to the house. The depth
of the frost line varies from reg-
ion to region. In the coastal areas
of British Columbia, frost usually
does not penetrate deep enough- to
cause damage.. Elsewhere in Can-
ada, particularly on the Prairies„
it may be necessary to sink the
footings down to five feet. In most
parts .of the country footings should
be at least four feet below ground
level. In the more northern reg-
ions the ground remains perman-
ently frozen and only the surface
thaws during the summer months.
This condition, known as perma-
frost, presents special engineer-
ing problems.
Frost will penetrate certain
types of earth more readily than.
others. It reaches deeper•• in clay, -
which usually has a relatively high
water content, than in loose, well -
drained soil containing a large
proportion of sand.
The first evidence of damage to
a building usually appears -at op-
enings, such as the door to a base-
ment garage or to • an 'exterior
baseinent stairway. Cracked lin-
tels above doors or windows or
cracks in brickwork may indicate
frost damage. On the inside, plas-
ter, cracks, opened joints or water
stains may result from damage to
the exterior wall. -
In winter construction, the foot-
ing bed should not be • exposed, to
frost as foundation cracks may ap-
pear in the spring if the ground
thaws out unevenly. Where con-
crete cannot be poured soon after
the trench has been dug, the foot-.
ing bed can be protected by bury -1
ing the framework under a thick
layer of straw. In severe freezing
conditions, however, this may still
not be sufficient.
In winter the first 48 hours af-
ter pouring are the most critical.
Freshly poured concrete should
never be allowed to freeze.
STRAIGHT AND LEVEL—Levelling the footing 'forms is an important operation in starting
• the construction of a well ,built house. Footings for the basement columns are poured at the same
time as the outside footins which carry the foundation walls.
