- Abstract
The paper deals with a new solution for realizing foundations, having a lower impact upon the environment than classical foundation solutions. The proposed solution consists of realizing foundation holes punched with the help of a spherical tamper. A semi-spherical foundation will be introduced in the obtained hole. The presented foundation is easy to realize and efficient. It aims at avoiding a more expensive and hard to realize indirect founding system needing special, high capacity equipment. That would block the respective location for a long time altering the environment. This solution for the realization of foundation holes pays a great part in reducing the volume of digging and of materials used in the foundations, the quantities of materials needing transportation (soil, concrete, steel-concrete, wood for formworks, etc.) as well as the shortening of the construction period. All these factors have favorable impact upon the environment, the investment costs being finally much smaller than in the case of other known solutions.
