    A plinth is a base or platform that supports a structure and distributes its weight evenly across a wider area. A plinth beam is a reinforced concrete beam built between the wall and foundation to prevent cracks from spreading. Plinth protection involves pouring a 100mm layer of concrete around the building's edge to prevent water infiltration and retention, protecting the structure long-term.

    What Is Plinth?

    A plinth is a base or platform that supports a plinth, column,


    or structure. Structurally, the plinth distributes weight and
    pressure down evenly across a column across a wider space.

    The height of the plinth is between 300 – 450 mm from the ground level. It
    is recommended that a minimum baseboard height of 150 mm be adopted
    from a natural level.

    Plinth Beam and Its Purpose in a Building?


    The plinth beam is a reinforced concrete beam built between the wall
    and its foundation. The plinth beam is provided to prevent the extension or
    cracking of the foundation cracks in the wall above when the foundation
    suffers from laying.

    What Is Plinth Protection?


    The protection of the plinth is necessary to prevent/reduce the infiltration
    of water in the soil that reaches the plinth wall and reaches the floor level
    by capillary action.

    The plinth beam protection reduces the direct entry of water into the
    ground near the plinth board wall.

    In technical terms, the area around the building is generally known as


    plinth protection. The plinth protection is usually done by pouring a layer
    of approximately 100 mm of common cement concrete along the edge of
    the building.

    The main idea behind this is to prevent water retention along the edge of the
    building, thus ensuring a long service life.
