concrete plinth beam design and construction
A plinth beam is a reinforced concrete beam constructed between the wall and its foundation. A plinth beam is provided to prevent the extension or propagation of cracks from the foundation into the wall above when the foundation suffers from the settlement. Plinth beams distribute the load of the wall over the foundation evenly.
It is mandatory to provide a plinth beam in areas that prone to earthquakes.
Construction of plinth beam above the natural ground is another application of this type of beam.
A minimum depth of the plinth beam is 20cm whereas its width should match the width of the final course of the foundation.
