Hello,
at our single-family house completed in 2007, we want to add a terrace roof. We want to keep the option open to enclose the three sides at a later date.
Currently, the terrace is bordered by a strip foundation, on which granite cubes are placed as edging for the 4cm concrete slabs.
The problem arises from the fact that about 1.8m was filled under the terrace (with the excavation from the basement). So far, the ring beam has only settled by 1cm, but it is hard to predict if it will stay that way.
If we were to place a conservatory on the ring beam now, and it settles over the years, that would certainly be bad for the conservatory.
Therefore, we want to remove the material within the ring beam and pour a slab.
The following procedure:
Remove terrace slabs, gravel, and crushed stone.
On the front side of the terrace (parallel to the house wall, bordering the lawn), three point foundations approx. 2m deep will be installed.
Drill from the outside through the wall into the basement ceiling and glue in reinforcement steel bars.
Insert two layers of reinforcement mesh and tie them with the bars in the house wall and the point foundations.
Pour the slab with concrete.
Now to the questions:
1) What do you think of this approach, what is good, what is bad, what would you do differently, what exactly like this?
2) Gluing the reinforcement bars into the basement ceiling leads to a thermal bridge, right? How is this usually done otherwise?
I look forward to your input and an lively discussion.
