Concrete Slab Foundation
This slab uses tie-down strips instead of anchor bolts. The strap will be folded over the wooden plate and nailed for extra strength.
Like anchor bolts, the tie-down strip is placed into wet concrete.
This slab features a raised perimeter area known as “stem wall.â€
This is an optional technique used to raise walls, most commonly used in garages to protect against water surge.
