WHAT IS PLINTH BEAM? PURPOSE OF PLINTH BEAM

PLINTH BEAM

Hai friends….,

So let’s start guys ….,

What is plinth beam in building construction and

why we provide what is the purpose of plinth beam in about its steel

reinforcement.

Difference in civil engineering every civil engineer should be know before starting design our construction of any structure they should know its advantages and disadvantages enough that they should decide what is good and what is bad for your structure .

So every engineer should be know before starting any structure like plinth

beam .

Plinth beam and its purposes

what is plinth beam ?

plinth beam is a reinforced concrete beam. which constructed between the wall and foundation.

Purpose of plinth beam?

Plinth beam provide to prevent the extension of Cracks from foundation into wall.

If you many construction you can see the wall wear on the wall

white powders which is called a fluorescence.

So that a fluorescence become from the seepage and from where seepage become to the wall from foundation.

So if you provide plinth beam in building construction so you will be saved from the seepage also from Cracks.

USE OF STEEL

Used 12 mm diameter of steel at the bottom of plinth beam.

Used 10 mm diameter of steel at the top of plinth beam.

Don’t keep the depth of beam less than 20 cm.

Use 25 mm concrete cover.

THANK YOU…!!
