PCC is done so as to provide a strong & stable base for fundation, it also provides a flat base for upcoming foundation rather than undulated base.

PCC is done so as to provide base for foundation to avoide direct contact of foundation with soil.
As the Grade of comcrete of PCC and Foundation is different it also provide material difference for ground bactrial effect on foundation.

The mixture of cement, FINE aggregate (sand) and  coarse aggregate is called plain cement concrete (PCC)

 PCC is mainly used for following purposes

1. It is used as a protective layer for the RCC above so that water from the RCC is not absorbed by the earth below.

2. Provides a base for the concrete and also helps workers to set out the structure above in a easier way

3.act as a cover to reinforced cement concrete i.e. resist corrosion of steel bars in footings

4.moisture available in soil should not absorbed by R.C.C footings which causes corrosion of reinforcement

.......It makes the platform for workers so that they can work easily and also for making sub structure easily

..... It resist the moisture content available between ground and surface

PCC was recently done at our residential site. 1/3 of the portion is still pending. The aggregate used was bigger than the one used in normal RCC.
Concerns:
1. They have left the bamboo used for water leveling in the concrete.
2. They coarsely leveled it used msand & cement mix.
3. Leveling is not proper (significantly).
4. The concrete is porous and the water seeps in very quickly.
5. The top layer of aggregate and coarse cement mix is parting out.
Kindly advise.

Concrete is good in compression but least in tension, so we need to form platform as PCC below footing which take the load of the entire structure which minimize the effect of tension in RCC works like footings, beams etc. Also steel is used in bottom of concrete bed to resist vertical tensile stresses. By these two principal structure is safe.

First is the compaction sub base may contain deleterious substances, alkaline, harmful salts etc. which will causes corroded the reinforcement of RCC.
No.2 -is it may porous & the cavity would soak water & cement slurry that may decrease the strength of RCC,
No.3-PCC support RCC as a hard & level surface against the soft & unduled sub base 
No.4-load of RCC will uniformly distributed sub-grade & below sub base.
