When constructing a matt footing, the outside forms are built with the loose forming method of snap ties, wedges, studs, and double walers. How are the inside of the ties held together?

Snap ties, wedges, studs, and double walers.
Snap ties welded to the reinforcing steel.
Snap ties and wedges at the bottom and spandrel ties at the top.
Snap ties with a special attachment clip that connects to the reinforcing steel.

The correct answer is: Snap ties with a special attachment clip that connects to the reinforcing steel.

The option A, C, and B are incorrect because they do not provide a clear and secure way to hold the inside of the ties together, which is essential for the stability of the mat footing. Option B is incorrect because it only mentions snap ties welded to the reinforcing steel, but does not address the other elements that are needed to hold the inside ties together. Option C is incorrect because it only mentions snap ties and wedges at the bottom, but does not mention anything for the top of the mat footing. Option A is incorrect because it only provides a list of elements for outside forms and does not address the method of holding the inside ties together. The special attachment clip in option D is the correct method because it securely connects the snap ties to the reinforcing steel, ensuring that all elements of the inside ties are held together.
