Backfilling and Plinth Filling/Proper compaction inside Foundation/Soil Filling inside Foundation
Steps involved in backfilling in foundation
1.Before you begin the backfill process, you have to be sure that the foundation cures for at least five to seven days. There are even instances when cracks may occur when you backfill too soon.
2.The ground over which the filling has to be done should be cleaned off all grass, loose stones, rubbish of all kinds etc. If there is water in the area, it should be pumped or bailed out.
3.Determine the types of material you will use for foundation backfill. A mixture of various materials such as rocks, soil and stone are commonly used. Some soil can retain too much moisture that is not good for your foundation.
4.Try to use the refilling material from the excavated earth
5.The approved excavated material, which has been stocked, shall be cleaned of all rubbish, large size stone, vegetation etc.
6.Begin backfilling at the corners and be sure that the distribution of the soil is even so as to provide ample lateral support for the walls of your home.
7.Use an excavator to fill in twelve inches of mixed materials on the sides of the area. After which, compress the soil and stone using the rolling compactor. You must repeat the same backfill procedure until the entire area is completely filled.
8.Filling should be done in layers, each layer being of 15cm to 20cm.
9.Each layer is watered and compacted with heavy rammers of wooden logs or steel.
10.Under no circumstances black cotton soil shall be used for filling in plinth and footing pits.

Nice Work

Thank you for your compliment

I have backfilled with soil and then plinthfilled for about 2.5 feet with oily sand which is one kind of industrial waste. Now it is not absorbing any water and remains as it is even after 4 days of watering. What should I do now?

[@SimpleConstructionzz]

oily sand means?

[@SUBHAYAN1986]

Means the sand absorbed something oily like mobile and becomes black in colour and smelling like kerosene!

It's a 3 storied residential building.

You are giving concentration at the soil setteling but look at your column stirups how it will be given laping

[@Acelifyking]

Thought of same too
It’s too small

Underground water tank is being built inside ground floor room of already built old house by digging its floor again. The worker dug almost near to the edges of room. Now after builiding tank while backfilling when water is being put for compaction of every 1 feet the stones and soils below plinth beam are falling due to small area and the water what shoulf be done in this case? Is it ok to compact and back fill by using less water?

[@SimpleConstructionzz]

its better to fill wet Msand or (sand) inside the pit and pour little water.

bro is it rcc wall or brick wall?

Will the use of this machine damage the foundation walls since it will run over the foundation,?

[@SimpleConstructionzz]

no

[@bhavishramdharry120]

why is he watering the soil?

[@SimpleConstructionzz]

For proper mixing and compaction

[@hemanttutor6910]

@@SimpleConstructionzz i have filled my foundation with building waste. Watered it during morning and evening. When rains came it settled nicely. Didn't need such complicated ideas

[@SimpleConstructionzz]

@Hemant Hitech building waste is not good for filling.red soil and clay soil is good for filling.right way of consolidation is mixing water by soil with a height of 20cm

[@sreejiths8641]

@@hemanttutor6910 This is the proper and correct method to be used.While filling the earth it needs to be either vibrated/watered for proper compaction. Also if we are using this method there will not be any chance of gaps or holes. In future the chance to damage floor concrete is also less.

[@SimpleConstructionzz]

exactly

[@milan731993]

This is sooo wrong....
When the water dries up , the soil 100% goes down .. now you have to waight for natural satteling of soil ...

[@SimpleConstructionzz]

thats not a problem
after drying pcc and concreting should be done.100% goes down.

[@n.unnikrishnannair8885]

Wrong method. Filling should be done in layer by layer without moving Hitachi over basement.

[@SimpleConstructionzz]

ok

[@russmus8708]

haha … its overdone

No,this makes proper consolidation and compaction inside foundation
