1. WORK DESCRIPTION

Rubble soling is a base structure of any foundation which is located under the plain cement

concrete of any type of foundation like footing, Raft, Road, Trimix etc. general thickness of

Rubble soling is 230mm to 300mm.

Rubble soling is done to prepare the uniform level surface on hard base or on backfilled surface

to work clearly and above rubble soling PCC work will be done for plain level surface. If any level

difference in base of the ground, then we are doing plum concrete and rubble soling with the

heap of rubble and PCC.

If hard the surface level of any foundation is too deep and structure on the building is

lightweight then needs to do rubble soling or plum concrete.

Types of Rubble Soling

 Kata Soling

 Flat Soling

 Leveled Soling

 Random Rubble Soling

 Stone Pitching

 Plum Concrete

2. STANDARD IS CODE

METHODS OF TEST FOR DETERMINATION OF STRENGTH PROPERTIES OF NATURAL BUILDING

STONES- IS:1121 (Part I) -1974

3. WHAT TO SEE?

Following drawings are needed to read to execute the rubble soling work at site.

 Foundation Layout

 Raft Layout

 Foundation Section

 Raft Section
  Level Drawing (For all types of a Building).

 Plinth Level Drawing (For all types of the building)

4. WHERE WE USE!

Rubble Soling will require to do at following locations

 Below Footing PCC

 Below Raft PCC

 Below Trimix

 Below WBM at Road

 Below Plinth Level PCC

 Below RCC Canal/Trench PCC

 Below Storm water PCC

 Stone Pitching to Earthen Dam.

 Stone Pitching for Road, Bridges embankment etc.

5. CHECK BEFORE WORK

Standard Procedure of work (Step by Step) Rubble Soling work (Before start the work)

 Calculate Approximate quantity of work.

 Visit nearest rubble stone quarry and check the quality of the material.

 Final the stone which is must be basalt stone and needs to make with hand packed

or rock on rock technology.

 Order 1.5 times more material than you required because in a tractor trolly if you

ordered 1 brass rubble, but it has more than 30% of voids, therefore, you need to

order 1.5 times than the required material.

6. WORK PROCEDURE

 Study the drawing of foundation Layout.

 Study the drawing of section of plinth level.

 Fix the 10mm or 12mm bar at 5m or 10m interval and mark all level on it like footing

PCC Top, Bottom level of PCC. Top level or Rubble soling etc.
  Compact all areas properly before starting the work, don’t keep any loose material

at rubble soling area. It must be compacted.

 Shift the rubble stone near working place by the use of labour, tough rider, tractor,

lorry or labour, etc. Generally, doesn’t use a wheelbarrow to shift the rubble stone

because wheelbarrow will damage easily, it must then use it carefully.

 Start laying of stone as per your given standards, generally, all are preferred “Kata

Soling” where we need to keep all the stone vertically places, and minimum gaps are

kept between them and fix the small stone chips in the gaps of stones.

 Fix line dori to the marked bar at the top level of rubble soling. And lay all the area

as per the marking. If any stone height is more than your desired height then it

should be cut by the hammer.

 Spread loose small and even good quality murum on rubble soling, fill all the gaps by

the chips and murum. If possible, use a small plate compactor on it.

 Check your desired height after murum filling on rubble soling.

7. CHECKLIST

Rubble stone soling work checklist is as follows:

 Check stone Quality is Good or Not.

 Check the level of soling bottom and top also, check the height of stone rubble

soling work.

 Check murum Quality.

 Check the gaps filled by chips and murum.

 Check the type of Rubble Stone Soling.

 Check if any stone is loose or not. If found loose remove it or fill the gaps by stone

chips and murum.

 Check top level is uniform or not.

8. EQUIPMENT

Following Equipment is required to do rubble soling work.

 Tractor/Tough Rider
  Wheel barrow/Trolly

 Line dori and 10mm or 12mm rod

 Chalk

 Auto level and measuring staff

 Hammer

 Plate compactor.

 Fawda & Ghamela

 Hand Compactor

9. HOW TO MEASURE

Rubble soling measurement are to be taken as per the following procedure

 Calculate the area of soling

 Check the unit of BOQ which maybe square meter sqft or cubic feet.

 If unit is square meter or sqft then only calculate length and width of soling

compacted area.

 If unit in BOQ is mentioned as cubic meter or cubic feet then need to measure the

length and width of the soling completed area as well as read the item description

where it may be written depth of soling is 230mm or 300mm.
