The beam which is provided at the plinth level is known as plinth beam. This is the first beam constructed after the completion of foundation. Plinth beams play an important role in a building structure. These provide a connection between the columns and hence prevent them from buckling. They prevent the extension or propagation of cracks from the foundation into the walls, when the foundation suffers from settlement. Plinth beams distribute the load of superstructure over the foundation in an evenly manner. The size of plinth depends upon the lateral and axial loads acting on it. That's why it becomes necessary to provide the proper size of a plinth beam. In addition to that we must know what quantity of steel should be provided for a particular size to avoid any cracks in the walls of the structure caused by any settlement. In this lecture i have discussed what sizes of plinth beams should be provided in residential buildings upto G+3 storey as per thumb rule. I have also discussed about the details of steel reinforcement provided in each type of plinth beam. If we want to construct ground floor only....the minimum size of plinth beam should be taken as 9'' x 9'' or 225mmx0.225mm For this size of beam we should provide a minimum of 4 number of steel bars (2 at the top and 2 at the bottom) having a minimum dia 12mm plus tie bars/rings of size 8mm spaced at 150mm c/c.
