PCC-plain cement concrete of grades 1:5:10 or 1:4:8 proportion is used as leveling course in the foundation trenches to act as level platform for r.c.c footing for columns / masonry footing for load bearing walls.it also serves as separating layer between natural soil and footing so that any harmful chemical present in soil will not act on the footing.PCC has no structural importance.in case of of trences or pits excavated than the required depth,the extra depth should be filled with pcc of required grade at the expense of contractor to the required level to place the footing.
