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)

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

IS 1893 (Part 1) : 2016 - Criteria For Earthquake Resistant Design Of Structures - General Provisions And Buildings

The provisions of this standard are applicable for design of structures like parking structures, security cabins and ancillary structures taking into account appropriate earthquake effects as per this standard. This standard is also applicable for design of temporary elements, such as scaffolding and temporary excavations. This standard does not deal with construction features relating to earthquake resistant buildings and other structures. For guidance on earthquake -resistant construction of buildings, reference may be made to the latest revisions of the following Indian Standards:  IS 4326, IS 13827, IS 13828, IS 13920, IS 13935 and IS 15988. The provisions of this standard are applicable even to critical and special structures, like nuclear power plants, petroleum refinery plants and large dams. For such structures, additional requirements may be imposed based on special studies, such as site-specific hazard assessment. In such cases, the earthquake effects specified by
