The strength of floor is depends on the strength of
sub base. On weak sub base if floor is laid than it will be settle down.
The strength of floor depends on the characteristics of the soil under
the floor and the bearing capacity of soil. The soil under floor should
be compacted well, so that there should be no loose pockets left any
where in the area.
The purpose of the base concrete is to provide a smooth level surface
at ground level on which a floor finish can be laid. Base course is
laid in two parts
i.e.
- 100 mm thick sand filling or stone filing. The sand should be clean
and dry. Do not use silt or very fine sand mixed with rubbish. The use
of sand is to keep out dampness and white ants. The sand should be free
from clay, silt, sulphates, dirt and other harmful salts and organic
impurities.
- 100 mm thick cement concrete 1;8;16 or cement concrete 1;6;12 or
1;4;8 as per requirement and strength of floor is laid. The thickness
of cement concrete may be raised from 100 mm to 150 mm for heavy duty
floor. The use of various mixes in detail is given below.
