pohjarakenne
Pohjarakenne (foundation structure) is the system of elements that transfers the loads from a building to the ground and provides a stable base for the construction. Its purpose is to ensure safety, durability and appropriate settlement, while also protecting the structure from moisture and frost effects. The design considers bearing capacity of the soil, horizontal forces, temperature changes and local climate.
The core components of pohjarakenne include foundations, load-bearing elements and the subfloor. Common foundation types are
Design and planning rely on geotechnical information and standards. Key considerations are bearing capacity and settlement
Construction and maintenance address proper excavation, compaction, waterproofing, and drainage to prevent moisture ingress and uneven
