The raft foundation, as the name suggests, resembles a single slab of raft-like structure. It consists of an integrated system including the base slab and beams. Generally, raft foundations are shallow in depth and may sometimes be constructed without any burial depth. After the concrete pour is completed, the base slab requires only water curing for no less than two weeks. The entire construction process is relatively straightforward, and the raft foundation does not cause damage to the on-site soil.
The raft design usually has an 'edge beam' formed by a cage of steel reinforcement, which will need to be carefully assembled on site, and internal stiffening beams are sometimes needed too, as these beams transfer the building loads through the rest of the slab and then evenly over the ground. A site investigation is usually needed for the engineer to understand what the ground is like, and very poor ground may mean you need a different solution such as piled foundations which again needs to be designed by a competent engineer prior to the work starting on site. The raft design will normally need a hardcore sub-base to level the ground, and this stone should be mechanically compacted.
You must ensure steel reinforcement is lapped (for both mesh and mild steel bars) and provided with concrete cover, and 'treading in' the reinforcement during the concrete pour isn't a suitable means of placing reinforcement - use the special 'chairs' or 'soldiers' to support the mesh.
Quality Assurance
Yoshine manufactures rebar under a certified ISO 9001 quality management system, ensuring every batch meets strict mechanical and dimensional standards. We conduct comprehensive inspections, tensile and yield testing, and material traceability throughout production. Our rebars comply with international standards such as GB1499.2, ASTM A615/A706/A1035, and BS4449, and come with mill test certificates and inspection reports upon request. This guarantees quality, transparency, and full suitability for export and use in reinforced concrete structures around the world.
OEM
A raft foundation is a reinforced concrete slab under the whole of a building or extension, 'floating' on the ground as a raft floats on water. This type of foundation spreads the load of the building over a larger area than other foundations, lowering the pressure on the ground.
