Garage door slab detail.

Pouring just a slab with a thickened perimeter is the least expensive and a perfectly acceptable option if you have good soil conditions not spongy. There will be a 16 x 8 garage door for. Once everything is finished there is one more factor that shouldn t be overlooked. Option 1 does not typically block all of the stemwall out and seems to be more.

After digging down 2 of pure sand i decided to stop compact it and fill the hole with gravel. That has to change a bit when i get to the garage door opening. I will be building 10 high walls with 2x6 then put on the roof. Adding one course of block to a slab keeps the garage door framing farther up from the ground which may be necessary depending on the grade.

Figures 4 9 through 4 11 and 4 15 show configurations with insulation on the exterior surface of the foundation. Figures 1 3 and 4 6 outline the construction steps for two jamb detail. The building is in nh is 48 x48 has a 4 foot frost wall on a 12 x24 footing will be wood frame above. I m trying to determine which is the preferred method of blocking out a stemwall foundation for garage door where a slab will be poured in the garage as shown in the images below.

4 2 slab on grade construction details. I plan on reinforcing the slab with 15m bars on 12 centers both ways and put two around the slab perimeter and one inside the perimeter wall. My icf foundation wall will have 8 of rigid foam on the outside and my slab will be floating inside the icfs. If i stop all the outside foam including that of the icf 4 short and pour a concrete approach apron smack against the concrete in the icf i could drive right over the top of the icf inner foam.

Figures 4 12 through 4 14 show variations where the slab is the primary location for insulation. Where a garage slab is at a lower level 50 150 mm than the remainder of the building the potential issues are exacerbated particularly on a flat site. You want the slab to be pitched from the rear to the door of the garage to allow for drainage says farrell. If your door is equipped with an electric door opener it is unnecessary to adjust the close force to its maximum.

I ve seen it done both ways and i ve actually drawn details showing both these options. You will also need some type of steel reinforcing in the garage floor slab portion of the design such as 10 gauge wire mesh that is formed in 6 x 6. The large scale detail below shows a cross section through the perimeter of the type 1 garage foundation giving dimensional details and the general placement of reinforcing steel and anchor bolts.
