14.
Fundamentals of Building
Construction, Materials & Methods, 6th Edition Copyright © 2013 J. Iano. All rights reserved. Foundations for Light Frame Structures • Anchor bolts cast into the top of the foundation wall attach to the lumber framing. • Steel reinforcing is also located at the bottom of the wall, connecting the wall to the concrete footing.
15.
Fundamentals of Building
Construction, Materials & Methods, 6th Edition Copyright © 2013 J. Iano. All rights reserved. Foundations for Light Frame Structures • Dampproofing or waterproofing is applied on the outside of the wall to prevent the concrete from ‘wicking up’ moisture from the earth. • Crushed stone and perforated perimeter drain help drain moisture away from the foundation.

Fundamentals of Building
Construction, Materials & Methods, 6th Edition Copyright © 2013 J. Iano. All rights reserved. Foundations for Light Frame Structures Foundation Insulation Strategies Top Left: Foam plastic insulation on the outside of walls reduces heat loss through the foundation, protects the exterior damproofing during backfilling, and reduces the potential for condensation on surfaces in the basement.
19.
Fundamentals of Building
Construction, Materials & Methods, 6th Edition Copyright © 2013 J. Iano. All rights reserved. Foundations for Light Frame Structures Foundation Insulation Strategies Top Right: Rigid insulation can be applied to the inside face of foundation walls in existing buildings, or to reduce the risk of termite infestation through the cellular channels of the insulation. It must be covered by gypsum board (not shown) to limit toxic gases produced in a fire.
20.
Fundamentals of Building
Construction, Materials & Methods, 6th Edition Copyright © 2013 J. Iano. All rights reserved. Foundations for Light Frame Structures Foundation Insulation Strategies Bottom Left: Crawl spaces under the first floor can be insulated with batt insulation on the interior surfaces, to protect against the loss of heated air to the exterior. This method is used in a mild climate.
21.
Fundamentals of Building
Construction, Materials & Methods, 6th Edition Copyright © 2013 J. Iano. All rights reserved. Foundations for Light Frame Structures Foundation Insulation Strategies Bottom Right: When a crawlspace is ventilated to the exterior, the floor platform above must be insulated to protect against heat loss. Rigid insulation underneath the floor joists protects the joists and batt insulation between them from high humidity in the crawlspace.
