Foundation

4.1. Foundations Strip trenches will be excavated. If the site is sloping, the trenches will be stepped so that their base is always horizontal. A layer of blinding concrete will then be laid, and then the reinforcement of the strip foundation. All steel employed in the work will have a strength of 4,200kg/cm2. Where reinforcements meet at corners or steps, the joins will be strengthened with bends of the same diameter. An electrical earth in the form of a naked 35mm2 section copper wire will be set in place before pouring the concrete, as specified in the foundations plan. Trenches will be filled with HA-25 concrete.
