INTRODUCTION
HISTORY OF IS 456
2.1
First published in 1953 under the title Indian Standard Code of Practice for
Plain and Reinforced Concrete for General Building Construction.
Highlights:
2.3
Use of SI unit
Since the publication of 1978 version of the Code there has been rapid
development world over in the field of concrete technology, design and construction
practices. There is general :eeling that in the Code, though the design requirements
are adequately covered, provsions on materials, workmanship, durability requirements
inspection and testing are required to be dealt in more details. Further, increasing
number of failures of corcrete structures in recent past had drawn attention towards
the need to codify durability requirements for concrete and concrete structures.
The present fourth revision of the Code has given greater emphasis on the
above aspects besides bringing out other important necessary changes.
3.
Exposure condition
Selection of suitable constituent materials
Selection of proper mix design including use of
admixtu res/additives
Specifying proper cement content and w/c ratio for different
exposure conditions.
Protection of reinforcement from corrosion by creating corrosion
inhibiting surrounding ie creating of dense cover concrete and
proper limiting of chloride and sulphate in concrete.
Selection of appropriate structural form and detailing.
Limiting crack formation and development
Proper construction method
Use of new materials like flyash, silica fume, rice husk ash, metakaoline,
blast furnace slag, super plasticisers etc. in concrete and the need for
increased durability demanded modifications in the material clause of the
Code.
4.
While taking up the revision of the code, due considerations have been given
by the concerned committee to all the major issues pointed out by the users.
Whereas it is desirable to have a unified code covering all types of concrete
construction i.e. plain, reinforced and prestressed concrete as suggested by the users,
it was fell that revision of IS 456 in its present form was more important. Unification
could be done subsequently which would require more time.
4.1
Scope of Revision
Every revision of the code has distinct landmark; 1964 version introduced
ultimate load theory as a method of design, 1978 version introduc~ Limit State
Concept of design and the proposed revision has brought out, in addition to other
changes, durability aspect in concrete making and construction.
Changes in the analysis and design clauses are meant to improve the safety
and serviceability of the structures which may not bring substantial overall effect on
cost, but changes in concrete technology aspect like minimum cement content,
minimum grade of concrete, cover thickness etc. may affect cost of construction. The
impact of such changes, however, has to be considered taking into account the
resultant enhancement in durability and changes in the overall life cycle cost of the
structure.
Studies of distresses structure in recent past have clearly indicated that the
failures have been more due to lack of proper durability considerations during
construction stage of a structure, Durability of a structure is affected due to various
physical chemical and biological factors. These factors can be taken care of by proper
assessment of environment, selection of right material and mixes, adequate structural
design, good placement. provision of protective coating and preventive maintenance.
This calls for system approach in the design code. Accordingly, durability clause has
been enlarged to cover all the factors in details so as to bring in-built protection from
such factors keeping in view the overall life cycle cost of the structure.
5.
IMPORTANT MODIFICATIONS
5.1
Materials
5.1.1
Cement
Mineral Admixtures
Flyash, silica fume, rice husk ash and metakaoline, which have got pozzolanic
properties and ground granulated blast furnace slag are being used with advantages
for concrete making by concrete technologist. The revised Code has, therefore, given
provision for such materials.
Pozzolana is defined as siliceous or siliceous and aluminous materials which
in itself possesses little or no cementitious value but will, in finely divided form and in
the presence of moisture, chemically react with calcium hydroxide at ordinary
temperatures to form compounds possessing cementitious properties. It is essential
that pozzolana be in a finely divided state as it is only then that silica can combine with
calcium hydroxide (produced by the hydrating Portland cement) in the presence of
water to form stable calcium silicates which have cementitious properties. Further silica
has to be amorphous, that is, glassy because crystalline silica has very low reactivity.
5.1.2.1
Silica Fume
Silica fume (very fine non crystalline silicon dioxide) is a by product of the
manufacture of silicon, ferrosilicon or the like, from quartz and carbon in electric arc..
furnaces. Silica in the form of glass (amorphous) is highly reactive, and the smallness
of the particles (0.03 - .3 micron) speeds up the reaction with calcium hydroxide
produced by the hydration of Portland cement. The very small particle of silica fume
can enters the space between the particles of cement and thus improve packing.
Although no Indian Standards specification is available on silica fume and it
is mostly imported it has been found to be very useful for achieving higher grade of
concrete. The Code therefore, has made adequate provision for use of silica fume.
,
5.1.2.3
Rice husks are a natural waste product have a very high silica content, and
when burnt at controlled temperature (500- 700C)iesultsin an amorphous material
with porous structure. It is reported to contribute to the strength of concrete at 1 to 3
days.
However, to achieve adequate workability as well as high strength, the use of
superplasticisers may be necessary. It also affects water demand and drying
shrinkage. The revised Code has given provision to use this material with necessary
precaution.
5.1.2.4
Metakaoline
Ground granulated blast furnace slag has been used in the manufacture of
slag cement upto 65%. Tn recent years there has been increasing use of mixing the
Portland cement and ground granulated slag components direct in the concrete mixers.
Advantage is that the proportion can be varied as per the requirement.
Appropriate provision of ground granulated slag conforming to lS~*2089.
Specification for granulated slag for manufacture of Portland slag cement has oeen
given in the revised Code.
5.1.3
Water
Quality of all the ingredients of concrete are important. Water, being a thajor
ingredient must also be of proper quality. Requirements for quality of water has been
modified in the reused standard.
5.1.3.1
Sulphate
Sulphate has now been proposed as SO
The amount of sulphate that can be tolerated in mixing water depeilds upon
the sulphate content of aggregate and cement, a limit of 4% of SO3 by mass of cement
5.1.3.2
Chloride
Limit of chloride content in water has been brought down from 1 000 mg/I to
500 mg/I for reinforced concrete work. This is in line with the prov!sion of British
Standard.
Chlorides are among the more abundant materials on earth and are present
in variable amounts in all of the ingredients of concrete. In order to keep the limit of
chloride below the threshold level which can initiate corrosion of reinforcement, limit of
500 mg/I in water has been recommended. Potable water has been found to be
generally suitable for concrete work.
5.1.4
Size of Aggregates
The existing Code has a suggestive clause which states that for reinforced
concrete work aggregates having nominal size of 20 mm are generally satisfactory. It
has been observed that for all practical purposes this provision takes precedence over
other provision regarding size of aggregates, though use of larger size wherever
possible are technically more appropriate and economically desirable. The revision,
therefore includes following additional sentence which can take care of this aspect.
For most work 20 mm aggregate is suitable. Where there is no
restriction to the flow of concrete Into section, 40 mm or larger size may be
permitted. In concrete elements with thin section. closely spaced reinforcement
or small cover, consideration should be given to the use of 10 mm nominal
maximum size.
5.1.5
Admixtures
With
the availability and successful use of superplasticisers in
improving the workability without increasing the w/c ratio, thus further gaining in strength
of concrete, it was felt that provision regarding admixtures required revision. IS 9103
which covers the requirements of admixture has been revised . It now covers the
requirements of superplasticisers in line with ASTM and British Standards~ Reference
of latest version of IS 9103 in IS 456 will pave the way for use of superplasticisers. In
addition, some guidelines for effective use of admixtures in field have also been made.
The most notable guidelines is the verification of suitability and effectiveness of
admixtures by trial mixes, using the same materials of concrete intended to be used
in the works.
5.2
Concrete
5.2.1
Grade of concrete
usually gives an overall picture of the quality of concrete since strength is directly
related to the structure of the hydrated cement paste.
5.2.1 .1
There has been suggestions to upgrade both minimum and maximum grade
of concrete in the Code. There has been two schools of thought regarding the
minimum grade of concrete to be used for reinforced concrete. One section feels that
M 15 grade of concrete, keeping other factors affecting durability in control, is sufficient;
while other section feels that it should be increased for better durability. ln the
developed world, even for ordinary structures the minimum grade of concrete is the
equivalent of M25 or M30. It is now realised that these grades are easily realised in the
field by proper mix design, particularly with the availability of 43 and 53 grade of cement
in the country. Further, in case of nominal mix, the same proportion (1:2:4) used for
MiS grade now give M20 grade without any problem. In the revision of the Code, the
minimum grade of concrete has been related to exposure conditions.
For mild exposure condition, i.e. for concrete surfaces protected against
weather or aggressive conditions except those situated in coastal areas, the minimum
grade shall be M 20 for RCC structures.
5.2.1.2
Realising the need, the revised Code has given provision upto 80 N/mm2. It
is, however, expected that users of high strength concrete will have sufficient data and
technology with them and will use high strength with proper care. Following note
emphasises this point.
For concrete of comprehensive strength greater than M55 design parameters
given in the Code may not be applicable and the values may be obtained from
specialist literatures and experimental results.
Although minimum grade of concrete has been kept as M20, provision have
been given for use of concrete of lesser strength for plain concrete construction, lean
concrete, simple foundation, foundation for masonry walls or other simple or temporary
construction

Designers often express that the age factors given in the existing code is
theoretically alright, but in practice it does not help the designers. The gain of strength
depends upon the grade of concrete, type of cement, w/c ratio, curing regime etc.
These age factors may help to ascertain the actual behaviour of a distress structure but
should not be used for design. Accordingly the values of age factors have been
deleted

II
In the very low category of workability where strict control is necessary e.g.
pavement quality concrete, measurement of workability by determination of compacting
factor will be more appropriate than slump (see IS 1199:1959) and a value of 0.75 to
0.80 is suggested.
In the very low category of workability, measurement of workability by
determination of flow will be appropriate.
5.2.5 Durability
Durability of concrete is one that performa satisfactorily in the working
environment during its anticipated exposure conditions during service.
In the existing Code the durability clause is very brief and certain qualitative
values in the form of guidance are included in Appendix. There is a general feeling that
due importance to the durability requirement are lacking in the present provision of the
Standard.
To overcome these shortcomings it was decided to bring the durability
requirements covering all the factors in the main text. These changes are in line with
BS 81110 Structural ~1seof Concrete Part 1 Code of Practice for design and
construction.
-
The basic features in BS 8110, ACI 318 Building Code requirements for
reinforced concrete, AS 3600 concrete structures relating to durability design are:
I)
ii)
iii)
The approach taken in the revised Code is in similar line as above. It now
recognise following main factors influencing durability.
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
f)
a)
the environment
the cover
the type and quality of constituent material
the cement content and w/c ratio of the concrete
workmanship, to obtain full compaction and
the shape and size of member.
The existing standard covered three exposure conditions, i.e. Mild, Moderate and
Severe. In the proposed revision very severe and extreme have been added. The
classification proposed is given below.
12

While defining the exposure condition, provisions, of other codes like AS 3600,
ACI 318, Pr ENV 206, CEB FIP Model Code were also discussed. It was discussed
whether location in relation to sea could be defined as in AS 3600. However, it was felt
that such details would be difficult to define. Provisions of Pr ENV 206 ConcretePerformance, production, placing and compliance criteria, was also not found suiting
our requirements.

British Code BS 8110, American Code ACI 318, Australian Code 3600 and CEB
FIP model code all identify permeability as being the key to durable concrete without
putting any limit on this; instead prescription are given for mix constituents and
proportions, cover and curing.
-
Design Mix
Preference has been given to design mix. For design mix constructor shall carry
out the mix design and the mix so designed (not the method of design) shall be
approved by the employer within the limitations of parameters and other stipulation laid
down by the Code.

Notes:
1)
For main reinforcement upto 12 mm diameter bar for mild exposure the nominal
cover may be reduced by 5 mm.
2)
Unless specified otherwise, actual cover shall not deviate from the required
nominallOmor-O.
However, for a longitudinal reinforcing bar in a column nominal cover shall in any
case not be less than the diameter of such bar. In the case of column of minimum
dimensions of 200 mm or under whose reinforcing bars do not exceed 12 mm, a cover
of 25 mm may be used.
For footings minimum cover shall be 50 mm.
It is felt that improper cover has been one of the main causes of deterioration of
structures. Earlier provision in the code was for minimum clear cover. There is
tendency to attempt the minimum specified in construction which results in concrete
cover much below the requirements in actual practice. With the present provision of
nominal cover it has been attempted to achieve, in practice at least 20 mm cover to
reinforcement including links.
5.2.6 Compaction and Finishing
The basic objective of compaction is to produce a solid void free mass. Due
importance has been given, in the revision of the code, to this important aspect.
16
5.2.7 Curing
There has been proposal from some section of engineers that service life of
structures should be defined in our codes. It is, however, felt that at this stage it would
not be possible to define service life of structures.
5.4
Acceptance Criteria
There is a general feeling that the acceptance criteria of concrete given in the
existing code which was based on Australian Code AS 1480-1974, is quite
cumbersome. The acceptance criteria has now been modified keeping international
practice and Indian condition in mind. It lays down appropriate limits for flexural and
compressive strength of individual test sample and also group of four consecutive
samples. It is felt that this simplified acceptance criteria will be welcomed by all field
engineers.
5.5
Quality Assurance
5.6
Batching
With the emergence of Ready Mix concrete plants in the country, it was felt
necessary to encourage them to bring quality in concrete construction. It is, therefore,
mentioned that Readymix concrete supplied by RMC plant shall be preferred.
17
5.7
The clause on inspection and testing of structures has been enlarged to give
general guidance on all aspects which should be considered for safety and
serviceability of a given structure.
Other important modifications in Section 2 are:
a)
b)
c)
Stripping time for formwork has been modified. Now for vertical formwork to
column, walls, large beams minimum stripping time is 16 hrs.
d)
5.8
Design Requirements
Some section of designers feet that during the last revision of the Code Working
Stress Method (WSM) was retained alongwith Limit State Method (LSM) considering
that it was a transition phase and slowly designers would change to limit state design
completely. After 21 years of publication of that revision, the need to continue with
working stress method. when code of other countes have changed completely to Limit
State Design, required review. BS 8110:1985, CEB-FIP, Model Code 1990 have
completely changed over to the limit state method, retaining the use of service loads
(without load factor) only for carrying out serviceability limit state calculation of crack
Width, deflection and vibration. The American Code ACI 318:1989 allows the use of
working stress method as an alternate method to limit state method and is included as
a Appendix in that code. The German Code DIN 1045/1968 makes selective use of the
WSM for shear and Torsion, for ensuring that the structure behaves properly under
working loads.
The feedback received during the workshop arranged by the Institution of
Engineers (India) at Bombay few years ago indicated that either a majority of designers
use the LSM or that the use of the WSM does not pose any undue difficulties. In the
revised Code working stress method has been included in Annex.
5.8.1 Important Modification in Section 3 General Design Requirement
1)
Fire resistance - Clause on fire resistance have now been enlarged based on BS
8110. This now includes apart from other requirements, minimum dimensional
requirement of wall, column, slab and beam with the minimum nominal cover for
different fire ratings.
18
ii)
Effective length of Cantilever has been added. As per the new clause:
The effective length of a Cantilever shall be taken as its length to the face of the
support plus half the effective depth except where it forms the end of a
continuous beam where the length to the centre of support shall be taken.
iii)
For substitute frame, it has been recommended that rigorous analysis may be
required where side way consideration becomes critical.
iv)
v)
The main drift deflection criteria for high rise building is lateral drift. This is the
relative magnitude of the lateral displacement at the top of a building with
respect to the height.
Under prominent wind load, the laterals sway at the top should not exceed
H/500, where H is the total height of the building. For seismic loading, reference
should be made to IS 1893:1984.
Fig 3 of the existing code for modification factor for tension reinforcement has
now been modified. The curves are now based on actual steel stress at service
loads as compared to the existing clauses which are based on allowable stress.
(See Annex Ill).
vi)
Clause of 23.2 of the existing code has been modified as follows, in view of
better clarity so that the two way slabs may not be designed as continuous
beam.
Slabs spanning in one direction and continuous over support shall be designed
according to the provision applicable to continuous beam.
via)
Considering that the support moments for adjacent panels calculated from Table
22 would vary significantly, redistribution of moment should be allowed. The
provision given in BS 8110 (Part 1) was considered more appropriate and a new
clause regarding adlustment of support moment in resultant slab have been
added.
viii)
There has been proposals to bring some details regarding reinforcement and
detailing of reinforcements from SP 24. It is felt that since details are available in SP 24
and SP 43:1981 Handbook on concrete reinforcement and detailing, one can always
refer to those publications, whenever needed.
However, provisions of other requirements in the code have been reviewed in the
light of comments received. Important Modification in this section are:
I)
Considering the bars in flexural or direct tension both have the same bonding
characteristics with concrete. It was felt that there was no need to treat the two
cases separately. Accordingly the clause 25.2.5.1 has been modified. The
modified clause is in line with 3.12.8.13 of BS 8110 (Part 1) and cl.12.2.3 of ACI
318:89.
ii)
5,7.3 Special Design Requirements for Structural Members and System (Section
4, Clause 28 of IS 456:1978)
Important changes in this section are:
I)
ii)
A new clause has been added for calculation of enhanced shear strength
20
iii)
Some modification in the torsion has also been made to make specific
mention for equilibrium torsion and need for design for it. This is based
on Cl. 40.1 of SF 24 and Cl.8.6 of AOl 318:1989.

The cement contents given in Class 2 are the minimum recommended. For SO.,
contents near the upper limit of Class 2, cement contents above these minimum
are advised.

further reduction of water/cement ratio.
6)
Portland slag cement conforming to 1S:455 with slag content more than 50
percent exhibits better sulphate resisting properties.
7)
Where chloride is also encountered along with sulphate in soil or ground water,
ordinary Portland cement with CA content from 5 to 8 percent shall be desirable
to be used in concrete, instead of sulphate- resisting cement. Alternatively a
blend ofordinary Portland Cement and slag may also be used provided sufficient
in formation is available on performance of such blended cements in these
conditions.

GENERAL
A durable concrete is one that performs satisfactorily
in
the working environment during
its anticipated exposure
conditions during
service.
The materials and mix proportions
specified and used should be such as to maintain its integrity
and, if applicable, to protect embedded metal from corrosion.
One
of the main characteristics
influencing
the
durability of
concrete is its permeability to
the ingress
of
water, oxygen,
carbon dioxide, chloride,
sulphate and other
potentially deleterious substances.
Impermeability is governed
by the constituents and workmanship used in making the concrete.
With normalweight aggregates a suitably
low permeability
is
achieved
by having an adequate cement content, sufficiently
low
free water/cement ratio, by ensuring complete compaction of
the
concrete,
and by adequate curing.

Exposure Conditions
Appendix A of IS 4561978 provides guidance regarding
mininiurn cement content and maximum W/C ratio required for plain
as well as reinforced concrete to ensure durability under three
exposure conditions,
ie mild, moderate and
severe.
Two
more exposure conditions i.e. very severe and extreme
have
now been added.
These have been detailed in Table 1.
Abrasive

Concrete
may sometimes be subjected to such condition e.g. action of metal

structures.

c) aggregate containing an alkali reactive constituent.
38
Where
the service records of
particular
cement/aggregate
combination are well
established,
and do not include
any
instances of
cracking due to alkaliaggregate
reaction, no
further precautions should be necessary.
When the materials are
unfamiliar, precautions should take one or more of the
following
forms:
a) Use of nonreactive aggregate from alternate sources.
b) Use of low alkali ordinary Portland cement
(OPC)
having total
alkali content not more
than
0.6

C)
Use of
flyash conforming

IS 3812:1981
or
granulated blast furnace slag conforming to IS 12089
as part
replacement of ordinary Portland cement or
use of Portland Pozzoland Cement conforming
to
IS 1489 (Part I) or Portland slag cement conforming
to IS 455 provided pozzolana
content
is at
least
20 percent
and
in case of slag at least 50 percent.

Concrete corbels:
The essence of the design method recommended for a
corbel is the assumption that it behaves as a simple strutand tie system, for loads appropriate to the ultimate
limit state. To make it function this way, it is necessary
to eliminate the possibility of a shear failure and Clause
28 suggests that the total depth of the corbel at the face
of the support be determined from shear considerations in
accordance
with Clause 40.5.1,
but using
the modified
definition of a~ : (the distance between the line of the
reaction to the supported load and the root of the corbel.
The corbel width will be normally be determined from
practical considerations. The size of the bearing plate
transmitting the ultimate load to the corbel is calculated
using a bearing stress not greater than 0.8f~k(BS8110)
provided that it may be shown that the horizontal force at
the bearing is low (<0.1 Va).
The requirements of Cl 28.2 for the proportioning of
the corbel and the detailing of the reinforcement are
illustrated in Fig 3.
For higher a~ /d ratios, design will be controlled
principally
by
flexure
at
root
section.
Particular
attention has to be paid to the occurrence of horizontal
forces at the bearing, since these can considerably reduce
the corbel strength. (Ref: C&CA Tech report 472)

SOLID SLABS
In general there are not significant changes in the design and analysis ofsolid
slabs except forminor change in clause No. 24,4 and a new Clause No. 24.4.1
24.2
Slabs spanning in one direction and continuous over supports shall be designed
according to the provisions applicable to continuous beams.

Comments:
In some cases the support moments calculated from Table 26 for adjacent panels
may differ significantly. The following procedure may be adopted to adjust them.
a)
b)
c)
According to the relative stiffness at adjacent spans, distributed the fixed end
moments across the supports, giving new support moments.
d)
Adjust midspan , moments such that, when added to the support moments from

If the resulting support moments are significantly greater than the value from
Table 26, the tension steel over the supports will need to be extended beyond the
provisions of 26.2 The procedure should be as follows:

e)
Take the span moment as parabolic between supports: its maximum value is as
found from (d)
f)

A1~DSYSTEM
Earlier in this section only the method of analysis and design of Flat Slab was
explained. Now in the revised version ofthe code, the method ofanalysis and
design of Ribbed, Hollow Block or Voided Slab (Clause 30 ) has also been
introduced.
-
30.
30.1
General
This covers the slabs constructed in one of the ways described below:
a)
As a series of concrete ribs with topping cast on forms which may be removed
after the concrete has set;
b)
c)
With a continuous top and bottom face but containing voids of rectangular, oval
-
30.2
or other shape.
Analysis of Structure
The moment and forces due to design loads on continuous slabs may ~e obtained by the
methods given in Section 3 for solid slabs. Alternatively, the slabs may be designed as a
series of simply supported spans provided they are not exposed to weather or corrosive
conditions; wide cracks may develop at the supports and the engineer shall satisfy
himselfthat these will not impair finishes or lead to corrosion of the reinforcement.
30.3
Shear
Where hollow block are used, for the purpose of calculating shear stress, the rib width
may be increased to take account of the ~vall
thickness of the block on one side of the
rib; with narrow precast units, the width ofthe jointing mortar or concrete may be
included.
65
30.4
Deflection
The Recommendations for deflection in respect of solid slabs may be applied to ribbed,
hollow block or voided construction. The span to effective depth ratios given in 23.2 for
a flanged beam are applicable but when calculating the final reduction factor for web
width, the rib width for hollow block slabs maybe assumed to include the walls ofthe
blocks on both sides of the rib. For voided slabs and slabs constructed of box or I-section
units, an effective rib width shall be calculated assuming all material below the upper
flange ofthe unit to be concentrated in a rectangular rib having the same cross-sectional
area and depth.
30$
In-situ ribs shall be not less than 65mm wide. They shall be spaced at centres not greater
than I .5m apart and their depth, excluding any topping, shall be not more than fourtimes
their width.
Generally ribs shall be formed along each edge parallel to the span of one way slabs.
When the edge is built into a wall or rests on a beam, a rib atleast as wide as the bearing
shall be formed along the edge.
30.6
Blocks and formers may be ofany suitable material. Hollow clay tiles for the filler types
shall conform to IS 3951 (Part 1). When required to contribute to the structural strength
of a slab they shall:
a)
b)
have a crushing strength of at least 14 N/mm2 measured on the net section when
axially loaded in the direction ofcompressive stress in the slab.
30.7
Arrangemern of Reinforcement
The recommendations given in 26.3 regarding maximum distance between bars apply to
areas of solid concrete in this form of construction. The curtailment, anchorage and cover
to reinforcement shall be as described below:a)
At least 50 percent ofthe total main reinforcement shall be carried though at the
bottom on to the bearing and anthored in accordance with 26.2.3.3.
b)
Where a slab, which is continuous over supports, has been designed as simply
supported, reinforcement shall be provided over the support to control cracking.
This reinforcement shall have a cross-sectional area ofnot less than one-quarter
66
that required in the middle ofthe adjoining spans and shall extend at least onetenth of the clear span into adjoining spans.
c)
In slabs with permanent blocks, the side cover to the reinforcement shall not be
less than 10mm, In all other cases, cover shall be provided according to 26.4
30.8 The construction with precast joists and hollow concrete filler blocks shall
conform to IS 6061 (Part I) and precast joist and hollow clay filler blocks shall conform
to is 6061 (Part 2)
67
[NTRODUCTION:
IS:456-1978 (Third Revision), Code of Practice for Plain and Reinforced Concrete was
adopted by BIS on 3~ October 1978. Practically two decades have passed since then which
have seen an increased use of concrete as a construction material allover the country.
However this period has also witnessed an unprecedented number of cases where concrete
has deteriorated badly, shaking the very confidence of the practitioners of this material.
Hitherto, in the code the attention was focussed on realising the required strength of concrete
at site, From there the focus has now shifted to durability. Hence the entire code has now
been revised with Durability as the central theme. Chapter 7 on Durability which had first 3
clauses has now been developed to include several important additional clauses.
69
BASIS OF DESIGN
18.1
Aim of Design
The aim of design is the achievement of an acceptable probability that structures
being designed will perform satisfactorily during their intended life. With an
appropriate degree of safety, they should sustain all the loads and deformations of
normal construction and use and have adequate durability and have adequate
19.5.1 In ordinary buildings, such as low rise dwellings whose lateral dimension do not
exceed 45 m the effect due to temperature fluctuations and shrinkage and creep can be
ignored in design calculations.
20.5
Lateral Sway
Under transient wind load the lateral sway at the top should not exceed H/500, where
H is the total height of the building. For seismic loading, reference should be made to
IS 1893.

The reinforcement detailing should reflect the changing pattern of the structural
section and ensure that both individual elements and the structure as a whole contain
adequate support, ties, bonds and anchorages for the required fire resistance.
21 .3. 1 Additional measures such as application of fire resisthnt finishes, provision of fire
resistant false ceilings and sacrificial steel in tensile zone, should be adopted in case
the nominal cover required exceeds 40 mm for beams and 35 mm for slabs to give
protection against spalling.

The effective length of a cantilever shall be taken as its length to the face of the
support plus half the effective depth except where it forms the end of a continuous
beam where the length to the centre of support shall be taken.

All columns shall be designed for minimum eccentricity, equal to the unsuppported
length of column/500 plus lateral dimensios/30, subject to a minimum of 20 mm.
Where Bi-axial bending is considered, it is only necessary to ensure that eccentricity

bundled in contact. Bundled bars shall be enclosed within stirrups or ties. Bundled
bars shall be tied together to ensure. the bars remaining together. Bars larger than 32
mm diameter shall not be bundled, except in columns.

13920 should be taken into consideration, where applicable.
26.2.2.2Anchoring bars in compression
The anchorage length of straight bar in compression shall be equal to the development
length of bars in compression as specified in 26.2.1. The projected length of hooks,

top of a section as cast and the minimum cover is less than twice the diameter of the
lapped bar, the lap length shall be increased by a factor of 1.4.
ii)
Corner of a section and the minimum cover to eithbr face is less than twice the
diameter of the lapped bar or where the clear distance between adjacent laps is less
than 75 mm or 6 times the diameter of lapped bar, whichever is greater, the lap length
should be increased by a factor of 1 .4.
Where both condition (i) and (ii) apply, the lap length should be increased by a factor
of 2.0.

26.5. 1.5
The maximum spacing of shear reinforcement measured along the axis of the
member shall not exceed 0.75 d for vertical stirrups and d for inclined stirrups at 45

Structures which marked changes in plan dimensions take place abruptly shal be
provided with expansion on joints at the section where. such changs occur.
Expansion joints shall be so provided that the necessary movement occurs with a
minimum resistance at the joint. The structures adjacent to the joint should preferably
be supported on separate columns or walls but not necessarily on separate
foundations. Reinforcement shall not extend across an expansion joint and the break
between the sections shall be complete.
28 CONCRETE CORBELS

28. 1
General
A corbel is a short cantilever projection which supports a load bearing member and
where:
a)
b)
the distance a between the line of the reaction to the supported load and the root of the
corbel is less than d (the effective depth ofthe root of the corbel); and
the depth at the outer edge of the contact area of the supported load is not less than
one-half of the depth at the root of the corbel.
The depth of the corbel at the face of the support is determined from shear
consideration in accordnance with 40.5.2 but using the modified defmition of av given
in(a).
28.2
Design
The magnitude of the resistance provided to horizontal force should be not less than
one-half of the design vertical load on the corbel (see also 28.2.4).
b)
Welding to a transverse bar of equal strength; in this case the bearing area of the load
should stop short of the face of the support by a distance equal to the cover of the tie
reinforcement; or
b)
by bending back the bars to form a loop; in this case the bearing area of the load
should not project beyond the straight portion of the bars forming the main tension
reinforcement.

Shear failure at sections of beams and cantilevers witl!out shear reinforcement will
normally occur on plane inclined at an angle 30 degree to the horizontal. If the angle
of failure plane is forced to be inclined more steeply than this (because the section
considered (x-x) in Fig. 24 is close to a support or for other reasons the shear force
required to produced failure is increased.
The enhancement of shear strength may be taken into account in the design of
sections near a support to increasing design shear strength of ~concreteto 2d c/av
provided that design shear stress at the face of the support remains less than the values
given in Table 20. Account may be taken of enhancement in anysituation where the
section considered is closer to the face of a support or concentrated load than twice
the effective depth, d. To be effective, tension reinforcement should extend on each
side of the point where it is intersected by a possible failure plane for a distance at
least equal to the effective depth, or be provided with an equivalent anchorage.

40.5.3 Enhanced Shear Strength Near Supports (Simplified approach)
The procedure given in 40.5.1 and 40.5.2 may be used for all beams. However for
beams carrying generally uniform load or where the principal load is located further
than 2 d from the face of support, the shear stress may be calculated at a section a
distance d from the face of support. The value of t~is calculated in accordance with
Table 19 and appropriate shear reinforcement is provided at sections closer to the
support, no further check for shear at such sections is required.

41. 1
General
In structures, where torsion is required to maintain equilibrium, members shall be
designed for torsion in accordance with clauses 41.2, 41.3 and 41.4. However, for
such indeterminate structures where torsion can be eliminated by releasing redundant
restraints, no specific design for torsion is necessary, provided torsional stiffness is
neglected in the calculation of internal forces. Adequate control of any torsional
cracking is provided by the shear reinforcement as per clause 40.
43. 1
Flexural Members
In general, compliance with the spacing requirements of reinforcement given in 26.3.2
should be sufficient to control flexural cracking. If greater spacing are required, the
expected crack width should be checked by formula given in Annex G.
General
Shear failure at sections of beams and cantilevers without shear reinforcement will
normally occur on plane inclined at an angle 30 degree to th~horizontal. If the angle
of failure plane is forced to be inclined more steeply than this because the section
considered (x-x) in Fig. 29 is close to a support or for other reasons) the shear force
required to produce failure is increased.
The enhancement of shear strength may be taken into account in the design of
sections near a support by increasing design shear strength of concrete. t~to 2d t~/av

The procedure given in B-5.5.1 and B-5.5.2 may be used for all beams. However for
beams carrying generally uniform load or where the principal load is located further
than 2 d from the face of support, the shear stress may be calculated at a section a

restraints, no specific design for torsion is necessary provided torsional stiffness is
neglected in the calculation of internal forces. Adequate control of any torsional
cracking is provided by the shear reinforcement as. per clause B-5.
