Answer / sudin shaha
plum concrete is usually done where the surface is uneven and to minimise the costing of concrete.for eg. below footings of residencial bldgs where in a small portion where the slope of ground below single footing is 1:10 to 1:50 in that case to save the cost of concrete plum is usually preffered.This finally leads to minimise the construction cost of building in all.
