IS 456 : 2000 - Plain and Reinforced Concrete - Code of Practice





IS 456 : 2000 - Plain and Reinforced Concrete - Code of Practice is an Indian Standard code of practice for general structural use of plain and reinforced concrete. The latest revision of this standard was done in year 2000, reaffirmed 2005. This code uses the limit state design approach as well working stress design approach. It is written for use in India. It gives extensive information on the various aspects of concrete.

It contains different 5 (five) sections and 8 (eight) annexures :

  • Section 1: General
  • Section 2: Materials, Workmanship, Inspection and Testing
  • Section 3: General Design Considerations
  • Section 4: Special Design Requirements for Structural Members and Systems
  • Section 5: Structural Design (Limit State Method)

The IS 456:2000 must be use along with other Indian Standard codes which supplement it:
  • SP 16 : 1980 - Design Aids for Reinforced Concrete to IS:456-1978
  • IS 13920 :1993 (Reaffirmed 1998) - Ductile Detailing of Reinforced Concrete Structures subjected to Seismic Forces - Code of Practice
  • SP 34 : 1987 - Handbook on Concrete Reinforcement and Detailing (This handbook needs to be revised based on the changes to the detailing clauses of IS:456-2000)

SP 16 :1980 - Design Aids for Reinforced Concrete to IS:456

The structural practice handbook  SP:16-1980   Design Aids for Reinforced Concrete to IS:456-1978  has tables and charts that helps structural engineers to rapidly design simple sections. Even though the design aid is based on the 1978 code, it continues to be used without revision as there have been no major changes to Section 5, on which the design aid is based.

IS 13920 : 2016 -Ductile Design and detailing of reinforced concrete structures subjected to seismic forces-Code of practice

IS 13920 : 2016 - Ductile Design and detailing of reinforced concrete structures subjected to seismic forces-Code of practice  since it was first published in 1993. Most of the older provisions have been redrafted and modified for greater clarity and new provisions have been added. Much of the this revision is based on the IITK-GSDMA document of proposed draft provisions. To Download II    Click Here    II

------------- Repair and Rehabilitation of Concrete Structures --------------- By, Poonam I. Modi & Chirag N. Patel

Since the subject of repairs and  rehabilitation is very exhaustive and entails great complexities /  varieties in terms of types of distress / deterioration, materials and techniques available for repairs and rehabilitations, it has always been a daunting task for the authors to select aspects to be covered in this book.  Following sections gives the panoramic view of this book organized into six chapters: Chapter 1 (Introduction)  gives quick overview and relevance of repairs and rehabilitation of  structures besides outlining general scenario of prevalence of deterioration of concrete structures,  broad reasons for distress in structures explaining what can go wrong with structures, and a general  roadmap and steps to be followed for carrying out any structural repairs and rehabilitation. This section also defines some of the important terms that are used in this book. Chapter 2 (Distress in Structures- Serviceability and Durability...
