alapohjarakenne
Alapohjarakenne refers to the fundamental structural system of a building that transfers all loads from the structure above down to the ground. This term encompasses the foundation and the elements that directly rest upon it. In its simplest form, it can consist of a concrete slab on grade, where the slab itself acts as the foundation. More complex alapohjarakenne can include strip foundations, which are continuous strips of concrete supporting load-bearing walls, or isolated pad foundations, which are individual concrete blocks supporting columns.
The primary function of the alapohjarakenne is to provide a stable base for the building, preventing settlement
In some cases, the alapohjarakenne might also include a basement or crawl space, which adds usable space
