Protection Against Frost Damage. Part VI: Floors Laid Directly on Ground, with Reduced Foundation Depths (Gulv pa Guennen Med Redusert Fundamenteringsdybde).

摘要

This report presents research activities conducted in Norway on floors laid directly on ground, with reduced foundation depths. The Building Code of Norway has recently changed allowing this type of construction, therefore research in special test houses using this type of floor was initiated. This report describes these test houses and presents information on heat flow, floor temperatures, damp-proofing and frost-proofing.
