Plinth is the line which differentiates the Substructure and Superstructure. It is the part of the Superstructure between the top of the tie beam at the finished ground level (the top level of the soil surrounding the structure that has been prepared and levelled before construction) and the floor level of the building (the ground floor level inside the building).
The Plinth height is provided essentially to protect the superstructure from dampness, which may seep in due to direct contact from the ground. The top plinth level is provided with the damp proof course, which gives additional protection against dampness.
Maximum size of boulders to be used for plinth filling should be 300mm
A proper damp proof course should be provided or else water will start seeping on the ground floor area through capillary action
Approx. 19 days for a 750 sq. ft. home and approx. 24 days for a 1000 sq. ft. home
Plinth filling will require maximum 5 to 6 days if IS standards are strictly followed
Storage of different materials like excavated earth, cement, sand, aggregates and reinforcement in limited available space
Preparing small quantities of concrete
Concreto cement is versatile and premium slag cement that is well-suited for all types of low, medium and heavy-duty construction applications and gives a better finish to the exterior and interiors of a building. Concreto can be used for varied applications like roofing, foundations, beams, columns, plastering and brickwork. It is specially formulated to provide a denser concrete mix than normal cement. Concreto can also be used for giving better finishing to the exterior and interiors of a building. It comes with 5 star advantage of – Super Strength, Best Freshness, Superior Finish, Lightest Color, Assured Quality.
Duraguard Microfiber is the only cement available in the market, built with the benefit of Microfiber. It is the most advanced cement, enhanced with Microfiber Technology for extra binding power. Acting as micro reinforcing agents, the Microfiber help the cement to resist seepage, dampness, shrinkage, and thermal cracks for years to come. Major advantages of using this cement are – Surfaces with fewer cracks, Strong structures, Reduced water seepage, and Low maintenance structures.
You can use Double Bull Master Cement – a premium Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC) that is produced from the best quality clinker along with fly ash and gypsum. It is engineered with our signature ‘Ummeed Se Zyada’ strength and optimum setting to provide superior Performance, Durability, Setting and Strength.
Note: You can mix Zero M Water Shield with any of the above cement products in given proportions, if you want your R.C.C. elements to have water repellent properties.
