有很多方法可以建造一个平地板(或防冻浅基础),下面是我们建造的一个加厚边板地板的一步一步的行走。XPS or EPS high-density foam is typically used under concrete slab floors, in this case we usedRockwoolmineral fiber insulation (formerly known as Roxul).
Note: Engineers at Rockwool could not confirm with us that their product had the compressive strength to carry the load under the footing, so where the weight of the walls would bear, we installed EPS foam.
板式楼板的建造方式通常需要地基,有时需要先浇筑霜墙,地基建立后再浇筑内部楼板。这种技术往往忽略了基础下的绝缘,这导致热桥接和热损失。这项技术还需要用混凝土泵车进行第二次运输,根据你所在地区的不同,运输费用在700美元到1000美元之间。相反,我们在这里所做的被称为“单浇”,即地基和底板同时浇筑。
Here are the basic steps for slab-on-grade construction on soil that doesnothave a high water table and has sufficient compressive strength to carry the load of the building. For problem soils see our pages onraft slabsand building on problem soils.
1. Creating a level building surface
After the land was cleared, compactable fill was brought in to bring the site to a workable level. The house sits at about grade at the north side, but needed about 3 feet of fill at the south edge to level the building site.
如图所示,采用板封隔器分段夯实地面,以确保地基牢固。用现场的岩石建造挡土墙,以固定压实的砾石和未来的石板。
2: Building forms
一个常见的技术,建立形式是把木桩打入地面,然后附加板到他们作为混凝土形式,但我们决定预先建立的形式,然后提高和方形的方式,你会与墙。这是为了使拆卸更容易,并允许我们重复使用木材。很难说最后是否会变得更容易,但一切都很顺利。
Forms need to be well-secured to avoid a blow out, including lots of braces to hold the weight of the concrete so forms don't bend. Three runs of 2x6's easily held concrete and insulation, and after forms were removed, that wood was used for framing.
3. Plumbing and mechanical infrastructure
All plumbing infrastructure (water pipes, drains, radon stack, central vac, power conduits, etc.) was put in place next, below the coming insulation and concrete. We usedinsulated water pipes courtesy of Uponor提高能源效率。
在这一点上,您需要非常确定管道的位置,因为在之后进行更改时,混凝土是不那么宽容的。你需要把混凝土浇到地板上的排水口,但是对于你看不到的水槽和浴缸排水口,如果你不把它们装在混凝土里,你的生活就会容易得多。要么在排水管周围建造一个木制的模型,或者干脆在桶上凿一个洞,把它贴在上面。这样排水管就会有一点作用,让它更容易连接浴缸和水槽的排水管。
4. Installing insulation
After all the plumbing was in place, 8 inches of rigid insulation was installed - Rockwool underneath the slab and on the vertical exterior surface, and 8 inches of EPS under the footings.
Comfortboard是伟大的工作与,它切割非常容易,保持安全的地方没有滑动,允许紧密清洁的接头。这是一个很好的附加好处,当你做多层时,就像我们在这里做的。对每一层的接头也进行了偏移,以进一步减少热损失。
我们垂直放置了8英寸的岩棉来保护板的外部,我们在Roxul的外部和内部放置了一块水泥板。之后,我们用塑料绑带将水泥板连接起来,绑带穿过绝缘层和蒸汽屏障,进入未来的地基;一颗1.5英寸的螺钉被放入扎带的末端,作为混凝土凝固后的锚。
The reasoning behind this step was to have a well-insulated slab with no thermal bridging, and a cement exterior ready for parging when the forms were removed. After disassembling the forms we were happy to see it worked exactly as planned.看一段我们是如何做到这一点的短视频。
Plastic ties were chosen over long nails or screws to prevent the heat loss that would come through metal, which our engineer assured us would be significant, far more than we would have expected before seeing software energy simulations. Metal fasteners would have effectively reduced the total R value by almost half, testament to the conductive powers of metal and why as a material it should be very selectively used in wall assemblies.
6. Radon gas barrier / vapour barrier
为了增加比常用的6密耳聚乙烯隔气层的耐久性,我们改用10密耳隔气层。增加的厚度为我们提供了更多的保护,以防止在施工阶段出现意外的洞,使我们对氡气保护更有信心。
为了支撑混凝土网格延伸到基础上,我们切割了位于小泡沫脚上的网格部分。它还支持4根钢筋,这些钢筋将被嵌入到我们想要的混凝土基础上。
Despite that it may look somewhat labour intensive, this little detail took only a few hours to do and it ensured that our mesh was level, our rebars were well-positioned and our vapour mat was not punctured.
Radiant floor hydronic tubing
Uponor also provided us withtubing for a radiant floor,完整的平面布局有10个独立的区域,所以房子的每个部分的温度都可以独立控制。
Limiting the length of tube installed per zone is very important at this stage; with too long a run the water will have cooled too much towards the end of its return trip to effectively supply heat. We had our zone system designed by our sponsor Uponor which ensured that the heat would be balanced as best as possible.
9:最后一层将是抛光混凝土,完全无毒,非常耐用。混凝土的生产是一个严重的污染,每吨混凝土释放1吨温室气体。因此,我们选择了含有50%回收材料的混凝土混合料,这大大降低了我们建筑的总排放量,同时也带来了一些LEED分数。
There is an often overlooked advantage when you choose a slab over a basement - concrete is very expensive, so the reduced amount of concrete used in a slab along with not needing to install a subfloor and finished flooring product translates into a savings of many thousands of dollars.
And if the very concept of slab-on-grade construction leaves you scratching your head or worrying about frost heave, we have multiple pages in our世界杯葡萄牙vs加纳亚盘赔率to help warm you to the topic.

What is the storm-tornado plan for slab on grade?
在这所房子建造的地方龙卷风几乎闻所未闻。每十年左右,我们就会遇到一颗在方圆一百公里范围内摧毁几棵树的小行星,但仅此而已。也就是说,如果你担心的话,你可以很容易地把它装进你的家里。例如,在机械室内建造某种混凝土加固的安全室并不需要多少钱,在需要时,它可以用于其他用途。好问题,谢谢。如果有人有什么想法,或者在上面的房子里建了一些防龙卷风的装置,我们很乐意听听。你是在高风险地区建造房屋吗?我们很乐意就此事与你交换意见。致以最亲切的问候。
Hi, Mike this is really cool stuff you are doing, with the cost of heating these days, I feel that small and efficient is the way to go. Couple of questions, mostly so I don't sound like an idiot when I'm talking about these things, when discussing slab on grade vs. traditional excavated foundations.... Aren't basements considered to be somewhat of a "heat sink" if they are adequately insulated, and if left to be unfinished, very cheap useable space? We live in a 990 sq. ft home, and with three of us, without the basement I think the home would be too small. Also I noticed you mentioned using the concrete forms later in the framing process....again to stop me from sounding un-informed in the future discussions, I thought this was against code, as the cement dust is caustic and over time would damage wood. Looking very much forward to seeing more as the project continues.
Hi Mike,
Interesting project, looking forward to the rest. I asked in the first blog when the project was announced, but didn't get a reply.
你能对Roxul作为分板隔热材料的使用发表意见吗?具体来说,是否没有关于ComfortBoard CIS抗压强度的问题?根据Roxul的销售表,在10%变形的情况下,它的压力约为8.5 PSI。似乎低?我意识到你有泡沫(大概更高的密度),板子将承担重量。
水泥板和绑带的细节/技巧很棒。你们有拆模后的板(水泥板)外表面的照片吗?期待视频。
Best regards, Jason
Hi Ecohome Folks,
看起来是一个有趣的项目!我有一个鼻子周围的网站,没有找到任何计划或更多的信息,这个演示屋。它们在网站上吗?很有趣。
Thanks
Keith
Roxul lists the compressive strength of ComfortBoard IS as 743 pounds per square foot (psf) at 10% compression and 1,269 psf at 25% compression. Structural engineers EBN spoke with confirm that this is perfectly adequate. “Roxul and every other rigid insulation I know of is more than strong enough to support a ground slab,” according to Bruce King, P.E. King explains that the weight of slabs varies from 50 psf for a 4"-thick slab to 150 psf for a 12"-thick slab, while code-imposed live loads vary from 40 psf (residential) to 50 psf (office) to 300 psf (heavy storage). “At the extreme, a fully loaded 12" storage slab is still far less weight than would appreciably compress the insulation,” King told EBN.

Andre, thank you for the response, information and links.
Best regards, Jason.
Sorry for the late reply Jason, Looks like Andre filled you in with the necessary stats, thanks Andre! As you saw, our only concern was the footing, so in the absence of test results from Roxul engineers we would again stick to the EPS to be sure. I spoke with other engineers who thought it should be fine, but it's never a good idea to be the first penguin to jump off the iceberg.
We were really happy with how the form ties held on the cement board, we will for sure have details coming on that as well. Thanks for your interest Jason!
Regards, Mike
Hi Mike
你会希望家里任何有条件的地方都能很好地隔热。任何保温不良的加热空间都会消耗你家的能源。地下室可以成为有用的空间,特别是在城市中心,特别是在他们已经存在的地方。
But for starting from scratch, slabs can be more affordable along with removing the unnecessary risk of water and moisture damage that is inherent with building underground. So when a basement makes sense, go for it. Just be sure to do it right.
What we want to get out there is the fact that they aren't 'necessary' for a safe and durable home, in fact they more often make homes less safe and durable. We build them to get below the frost line, meaning we are using dirt as insulation. With a slab you are simply using insulation as insulation instead.
We do have a page on best practices for basement construction, new and retrofits, have a look - //www.esb-agile.com/guide/best-practices-basement-insulation-new-home-construction
retrofits: //www.esb-agile.com/guide/basement-renovations-prevent-mold-retrofitting-basements
As for the wood from forms, remember they were a long way from having any contact with cement. They were separated by cement board, 8 inches of insulation and a plastic barrier. And as it turns out, to protect the cement board and insulation during framing, we ended up leaving them in place during exterior wall framing so they will likely find their way into other interior projects instead.
Cheers,
Mike
Hey Keith,
it's on our to-do list, you're not the first to ask. We will have them up on the site soon I hope, check back soon. Thanks.
Thanks for the terrific article. Any thought given to water quality with pex piping and potential alternatives?
e.g. http://www.angieslist.com/articles/does-pex-piping-affect-drinking-water-quality.htm
Hi Mike !
We're planning a slab on grade for our new build this spring. We're planning to have the wall framing done with insulated forms from "Polycrete" which sounds pretty efficient from what i found out at their site this week. Now, my concern is, is there a chance water could leak in from the transition between the wall and the slab as it is so close to grade and the amount of snow we get in Quebec, and if there is, what's the best way to keep it from happening ? Thanks for all the great information and details on your site !
if you place a 2 by 4 flat in the form when pouring the slab (the top of the 2by4 to be flush with the top of the slab), that will give you an 1.5" step which can be cut from the inside of your first layer of forms. that solves any water penetration problem
我对泡沫的担心是,老鼠会挖几英尺深的沟吗?如果砂砾随着时间的推移被冲走,老鼠会不会钻到泡沫下面,把它运走,留下一个可能造成裂缝的空间?泡沫主要用于绝缘,因为我认为把它放在水泥和地板之间会是一个更好的解决方案,但我只是一个家庭主妇....没有经验……我只是想看看村舍的创意。
我想这取决于你建在哪里,如果你在老鼠出没的地方,我们从来没有见过任何绝缘材料被老鼠破坏的情况。但如果发生这种情况,它们就会撞到混凝土上,所以它的风险并不比任何典型的地基更大。
As for gravel, yes, you need to make sure it doesn't wash away, but that's not a difficult task. You lay soil and ground cover over top and it doesn't go anywhere.
I know you used plastic ties to keep the multiple layers of vertical insulation together, but did you do anything to keep the boards inside the forms from separating or are they just floating around in there?
Hi Greg,
The insulation boards are compressed between the concrete and exterior cement board, so there is no way for them to move around.
