Damp Proof Course (DPC) is generally applied at basement levels which restricts the movement of moisture through walls.

Cement concrete is commonly adopted material for DPC at plinth level, 38mm to 50mm thick layer of cement concrete M15(1:2:4) serves the purpose under normal condition.

For 1:2:4 Concrete, D.P. C range is 6 to 15cm.

The given answer is correct.

In DOC.
The thickness of cement concrete (1:2:4)=40 to 150mm.
The thickness of mortar (1:3)= 20 to 40mm.

It is 12 to 40 mm so answer should be 20 not 40.

Ass said:   8 years ago
So why answer is 40mm not in 20mm?

Aniruddh said:   8 years ago
DPC is 25 mm as per PWD WB schedule.
