INDUSTRIAL TRAINING REPORT
There are many factors that can affect the choice of a piled foundation. All factors need to
be considered and their relative importance taken into account before reaching a afinal
decision.
3.PLINTH BEAM
A plinth beam is the type of beam that is provided at the plinth level of the
structure.It refers to the horizontal structural element provided at the plinth level that
connects the columns thereby preventing the buckling of the column.
c. To transfer the incoming load from the superstructure evenly to the foundation
below.
It has also been found that the plinth beams tend to reduce the length of the columns and
thus reduce their slenderness ratio and the effective length.
3.2.DESIGN OF PLINTH
The process of plinth beam design involves an intensive process of determining the
appropriate dimension of the beam (size of the beam) such that the beam with adequate
strength can be constructed economically.
b. Passive pressure exerted by the soil below the plinth beam to be constructed.
The suitable cross-sectional area of the plinth beam is selected based on the deflection requirements
of the code and the loading conditions.
It is desirable to select the width of the plinth beam in accordance with the wall to be constructed
above it or the width of the supporting column.
In no case, the width of the plinth beam must be less than the width of the final course of the
foundation.
The depth of the plinth beam must be at least 20cm or more.
While designing the reinforcement/ steel bar, it must be ensured that the ultimate moment of
resistance is equal to or more than the factored moment.
The area of the tensile steel bars required can be easily calculated from the formula given in the
code IS 456:2000 or equivalent.
During the designing of the plinth beam, in no case, the shear force exerted on the section must be
greater than the maximum permissible shear stress for the particular grade of concrete as specified
in table 20 of IS 456:2000 code.
The spacing for the shear reinforcements or the stirrup can be calculated from the formula given in
the code.
In no case, the calculated spacing shall be greater than 30cm
