(i) Several specifications for a damp proof course are described, including layers of dense bricks, burnt bricks soaked in tar and pitch, non-porous stone or slate slabs, cement plaster with a waterproofing compound and asphalt or coal tar coating, or a 40-50mm thick cement concrete layer coated with asphalt or coal tar.
(ii) The damp proof course should be applied after the underlying concrete has fully cured and dried. It should be laid flush with the floor surface and not extend across openings.
(iii) The damp proof course height should be at least 15cm above the highest ground level to prevent water splashes from reaching it during rain. In northern India,
