against ground movement and damages. Due to the fact that foundation transfer the dead and
imposed loads of the structure onto the ground it must be very solid and strong. Our foundation
is made of pre cast concrete blocks which has a damp-proof course made of mastics on external
side. There are sleeper wall after the concrete blocks to support the basement floor slabs.
Next primary elements are the walls. My house has four crosswalls which have load bearing and
enclosing role. There are also a lot of internal division walls with dividing role. The crosswalls
are made of lightweight concrete blocks. Behind the blocks are moisture barrier which is fixed
with brick tie. After that there are sole plates and pads which are nailed into a head timber above
and sole plates underneath. Between the studs are thermal insulation what keeps heat inside the
building
