This is important! In the operational period, the foundation is subject to loads: from the movement of the soil, from frosty heaving (causes stretching in the upper part of the base), from the mass of the structure (the lower part is stretched, the upper one is compressed). And if the reinforcement of the strip foundation is not done correctly, then this will lead to the collapse of not only walls, but also the building itself. Therefore, these works must be taken seriously.
