    Rubble Soling: 50mm Thick Stone Dust/ Sand/ Murum/ Soil Bed

    Uploaded by

    Rubble soling involves laying layers of hard, durable stones in a trench. Stones up to 150mm are tightly packed in 300mm layers with the gaps filled with stone dust or soil. Each layer is compacted before the next is added to create a stable rubble foundation. Proper grading and sizing of stones, along with compaction, ensures the rubble soling provides a solid base.

    RUBBLE SOLING

    The rubble stone generally used are of best variety of black trap / granite / basalt or other variety of
    stone available locally. The stone should be hard, durable free from defects and of required size as
    required at site or as per specification.

    Procedure of Rubble Soling

    1) Over the prepared surface, the stone should be set as closely as possible, well packed and
    firmly set. Soling should be laid in layer of thickness 300mm with a tolerance of 25mm.
    2) Single stone size should be maximum 150mm all-around with fractured and rough surface.
    3) Round Stone/ Burnt Brick/ Brick should be avoided.
    4) After packing the stones and aggregates properly in position, the interstices between them
    should be carefully filled with Stone Dust/ Sand/ Murum/ Soil as possible to obtain a compact
    surface.
    5) Simply spreading of loose spoils or stone chips is prohibited.
    6) After filling each layer of 300mm the area should adequately watered (ponding). Water
    should be allowed to seep in and then the layer should be rammed with hand rammer to get
    a properly compacted surface.
    7) A bed of Stone Dust/ Sand/ Murum/ Soil having thickness 50mm should be laid between two
    stone layers of thickness 300mm each.

    150mm 40%
    100mm
    75mm 30%
    40mm
    Stone Dust/ Sand/ Murum/ Soil 30%
