Plinth Protection

2901.4.
12 Treatment of Soil Surrounding Pipes, Wastes and Conduits
Soil surrounding entry points of pipes, wastes and conduits inside the
foundation area shall be looked around each such pipe for a distance of
150 mm and to a depth of 75 mm before treatment is commenced. When
they enter soil external to the foundations, they shall be similarly treated
for a distance of over 300 mm unless they stand clear of the walls of the
buildings by about 75 mm.
2901.5 Measurements For Payment
Measurement for all operations of anti-termite treatment, described above,

shall be the plinth area of the building in square metre at floor level
(ground floor) Nothing extra shall be measured for payment.
2901.6 Rate
Contract unit rate for anti-termite treatment shall include the cost of labour
and all other inputs (including concentrated chemicals), tools and plans
and other incidental expenses involved in all the operations described
above including driving holes in soil or floor as the case may be.
2902. PLINTH PROTECTION
2902.1 General
Plinth protection shall be provided as specified up to the required width. It

comprises of 50 mm thick cement concrete 1:3:6 (1 cement : 3 coarse
sand : 6 graded stone aggregate 20 mm nominal size) over 75 mm thick
bed of dry brick aggregate of 40 mm nominal size, grouted with fine sand.,
The outer edge or free edge shall be lined with 2nd class bricks laid on
edge and joints laid in cement mortar 1:4 (1 cement : 4 fine sand). It shall
be laid to the required width and slope in outward direction.
The general details such as thickness of different components, mix of

concrete and mortar shall be followed as described here in above unless
otherwise specified in the drawings or as directed by engineer.
The general details such as thickness of under layers, mix of concrete and
mortar shall be followed as described here above unless otherwise
specified in the drawings or as directed by engineer.
2902.2 Construction Operation

Page 550 of 574
2902.2.1 Preparing Ground
The ground, where plinth protection is to be laid shall first be prepared to

the required slope. The high portions of ground shall be excavated,
hollows and depressions shall be filled up to the required level with the
excavated earth, watered and rammed with iron rammers to give uniform
outward slope. Preparation of any area involving cutting and filling up to a
depth of 15 cm shall not be paid for separately. Surplus earth, if any,
obtained shall be disposed off with all lead as directed by engineer and no
extra payment shall be made towards this.
2902.2.2 Brick Edging
Trenches of required depth and width shall be first made along the edge of
the plinth protection to receive the bricks for edging. The bricks shall
conform to the IS specifications described under Clause 302. The bed of
trenches shall be compacted to a firm and even surface. The bricks shall
be laid true to line with length parallel and abutting the plinth protection
and joints filled with cement mortar. The top face of the bricks edging shall
be in one level, to conform to the finished level of the plinth protection
adjacent to the edging. After the concrete is done, no portion of the brick
shall project above the adjacent concrete surface, cement mortar shall
conform to the specification described in Sub Clause 2001.2.
2902.2.3 Sub Grade
The sub-grade shall consist of a bed of dry brick aggregate of 40 mm

nominal size. Brick aggregate shall be spread evenly over the prepared
surface to 7.5-mm depth (unconsolidated) and given a minimum outward
slope of 1 in 50 or as indicated in drawing. The aggregate shall be
carefully laid and packed, bigger size being placed at the bottom. The
brick aggregate shall be consolidated dry with heavy iron rammers . After
the brick aggregate has been consolidated the surface shall be checked
with a straight edge and depressions etc. and interstices filled with same
aggregate and consolidated. The aggregate shall then be grouted evenly
with fine sand at the rate of 0.60 cubic metre / 10 sqm area, adequately
watered to ensure filling of the voids by sand and again rammed
with heavy iron rammers. The finished surface shall give well finished
uniform appearance.
2902.2.4 Cement Concrete Topping
After the sub-grade has been compacted and prepared as described

Page 551 of 574
above, 50 mm thick cement concrete 1:3:6 (1 cement : 3 coarse sand : 6
graded stone aggregate of 20 mm nominal size) shall be laid in panels in
operation as described in Clause 2101 except that on top shall not be
finished with neat cement slurry but shall be finished with only wooden
floats. The concrete surface shall not be finished with mortar. The length
of each panel shall not be more than 5 m. The finished surface shall have
a minimum outward slope of 1 in 50 or as indicated in drawing.
2902.2.5 Curing
Specification shall be as described under Clause 600.
2902.3 Measurements for Payment
Length and breadth shall be measured correct to a cm and the area shall
be calculated in square metre correct to two places of decimal. No
deduction shall be made for any opening, pipes etc. upto 0.1 sqm area.
2902.4 Rate
The Rate shall include all cost of material and labour described in all the
above operations to complete the work in all respects.
2903 TUBULAR TRUSSES
2903.1 The structural steel tubes used for construction of truss shall be
conforming to Sub Clause 307.5.
2903.2 Thickness:-Wall thickness of tubes for work shall be as shown in drawings

or as directed by engineer.
2903.3 The specifications for fabrication, straightening, bolting, welding, hoisting

and erection shall be as described under Clause 801.
2903.4 Caps and Bases of Column
The ends of all the tubes for columns transmitting loads through the ends,
should be true and square to the axis of the tubes and should be provided
with a cap or base accurately fitted to the end of tube and screwed,
welded or shrunk on. The cap or base plate should be true and square to
the axis of the columns.
2903.5 Sealing of tubes
