On-site generally, I heard these two terms capping beam and ground beam, so What is the difference between these two?
Water proofing is done using shotcrete not concrete. Basement should be built using concrete . Water proofing can also be done by polymer membrane systems called tanking ( refer to CIRIA). I used ACI 506 to design shotcrete. Its should be of 28Mpa strength using 12mm down aggregates.

There is a minor difference between ground beams and capping beams Ground Beams are provided between the pile caps, it provides structural stability and provide strength to a foundation While Capping Beams ties all piles together and helps to distribute load of superstructure to the substructure.

There is a minor difference between ground beams and capping beams Ground Beams are provided between the pile caps, it provides structural stability and provide strength to a foundation While Capping Beams ties all piles together and helps to distribute load of superstructure to the substructure. It has the same function as pile caps, in addition to distribute the load of the superstructure.
