#Good construction practices – RCC work

To perform and get durable structure best practices should be followed. If the foundation is poor, then the entire structure will collapse. The foundation should be rest on firm soil. Foundation should be taken to a minimum depth of 1.2m below from the ground level.  Foundation is depend on load bearing capacity of soil and it is important to indicate the size of the foundation. Selection of foundation should be suitable that can handle the weight of wall. Ensure that the excavation done is true to levels, slope, shape and pattern. Termite infestation can weaken structures and damage wooden surfaces. So it is important to do anti-termite treatment before the construction starts. Cement should be stored properly if it’s not it will lose its strength as cement absorbs moisture from the air. It is necessary to protect cement from dampness and humidity. Cement should be stored in water-proof buildings. Also some care should be taken during the concrete mix. Ø
