Answer / arun parashar
To level the unevenness of ground surface for laying of
reinforcement and protecting it from contact with ground,
it also improve firm base to foundation increase bearing
capacity of soil.

Answer / mohammed essam
its maily for level purpose, what ever may be the depth of pit for each column, we shd try to maintain all PCC top levels same, so as to column heights r equal and the loads from them shd evenly be distributed to the surface.

Answer / anil kumar b s
PCC is the base layer of a Structure which will avoid
direct contact of reinforcement to the earth and avoid the
water content seepage to the structural member.

Answer / vijay
PCC is just for providing the leveled surface to the
foundation where ground level is uneven and its also
provide extra thickness to the foundation and avoid contact
of water with reinforcement.

3 Answers Bhushan Power Steel,
What is the density of DLC & PQC and how it is differ from normal concrete?
In foundation design, while we do the base pressure check, we normally check if the attained pressure value is less than the GROSS BEARING CAPACITY of the soil which is the sum of net bearing capacity of soil and the overburden pressure. Actually, the overburden pressure acts against the net bearing capacity of the soil and I feel that we are actually increasing the bearing capacity value and doing the check. I feel that this is NOT right. Please clarify on this.
