removed by excavation or otherwise become or has been rendered innocuous.

67

94. (1) The foundation of every building shall be so constructed as to sustain the combined

dead load of the building and the super-imposed load to be estimated as per Schedule IV

and to transmit those loads to the sub-soil in such a manner that pressure on the sub-soil

shall not exceed the safe pressure specified in the table below:-

(e) Made up ground

See note 3, to be determined

after investigation

18 Fill or made up ground See note 1 or 4, to be

determined after investigation

Note 1: compactness or looseness of non-cohesive materials may be determined by driving a

wooden picket of dimension 5 centimetres 5 centimetres 7 centimetres with a

sharp point. The picket shall be pushed vertically into the soil by the full weight of a

person and if the penetration of the picket exceeds 20 centimetres, the loose state

shall be assumed to exits

Note 2: No generalized valves for presumptive safe bearing capacities can be given for these

type of soil. In such area adequate site investigation shall be carried out and expert

advice shall be sought.

Note 3: peat may occur in very soft spongy condition or may be quite firm and compact.

While ultimate bearing capacity may be high in the compact, cases, very large

consolidation settlements occur even under small pressures and the movements

continue for decades.

Note 4: The strength of made up ground depends on the nature of the material. Its depth and

age, and the methods used for consolidating it.

Note 5: the presumptive safe bearing values may be increased by amount equal to weight of

the material (virgin soil) removed from above the bearing level that is the base of

69

foundation.

Note 6: For non-cohesive soils, the presumptive safe bearing value shall be reduced by 50%.

If the water table is above or near the bearing surface of the soil. If the water table is

below the bearing surface of the foundation no such reduction shall apply. For

intermediate depths of the water table, proportional reduction of the presumptive safe

bearing value may be made.

(2) The loads shall not cause such settlements of the building or any part of the

building as may impair its stability.

(3) For building 3 storey high, foundation shall be designed after making standard

tests or establishing the safe bearing pressure of the soil and the foundation shall

be taken down to such a depth or so constructed as to render the building

immunes from damage from upheaval and movement due to seasonal variations

in the content of the moisture in the ground.

95. (1) Every wall of public building or domestic building( including a pier forming a part of

the wall or a compound wall) shall be provided with a damp proof course except

when built up of materials such as cement concrete(50 kilograms, 0.07 cubic metre

fine aggregate and 0.14 cubic metre coarse aggregate) known as 1:2:4 cement

concrete with or without the addition of any commercial damp proofing material.

(2) Materials specified as damp proof course shall be as per Indian Standard Institution

or as indicated in the Punjab P.W.D specification, 1963. Edition as adopted by the

Haryana State Duly amended from time to time.

(3) In external wall, the horizontal damp proof course shall be laid immediately above the

plinth protection and a vertical damp proof course shall be provided on the interior

face of the wall extending between the horizontal damp proof course and the level of

the upper surface of the concrete in finished floor.

(4) In an internal wall the horizontal damp proof course shall be laid loads, in level with

the upper surface of the concrete in the finished floor. The section continuity of damp

proof course between the internal and external wall shall be secured by the insertion

of bituminised bricks of cement concrete bricks laid in cement mortar 1:3 or any other

damp proof material.

Note 1: A reference to a “floor” includes a reference to any part of that floor and a

reference to ‘slabs’ includes boarding and beams or ribs paced not further apart

than one mete between centres, and a reference to ‘beams’ means all other beams

and ribs.

Note 2: Under loading class No.250 the reference to ‘light’ workrooms envisages rooms

in which some light machines(for example sewing machines used by milliners or

tailors) are operated without a central power driven unit, that is, machines are

independently operated, either by hand or by small motors, under loading class

No 400, the reference to ‘workrooms’ generally envisages the installation of

machines operated with a central power driven unit, with the individual machines

being belt driven.

Note 3: ‘Fixed seating’ implies that the removal of the seating and the use of the space for

other purpose is improbable. The maximum likely load in this case is, therefore,

closely controlled.

Note 4: The loading in workshops/ warehouses and factories varies considerably and so

three loadings under the terms ‘light medium’ and ‘heavy’ are introduced in order

to allow for more economical design but the terms have no special meaning in

themselves other than the live load for which the relevant floor is designed. It is
