 On extreme left, clause numbers are given which is same as clause number of
original code.
 Figure number and Table number has been kept same as original code.

 INTRODUCTION
This code is used for design and analysis of plain and reinforced concrete structures. It
comprises five sections and eight annexure out of which 3 section and 3 annexure only are
important for competitive examinations.

 SECTION 1: GENERAL
Description of symbols are given which is used in case of any confusion between two
symbols.
SECTION 2: MATERIAL, WORKMANSHIP, INSPECTION & TESTING
MATERIALS
Cement
Types of recommended cement:
I. 33 grade ordinary Portland cement(OPC)
II. 43 grade ordinary Portland cement(OPC)
III. 53 grade ordinary Portland cement(OPC)
IV. Rapid hardening Portland cement
V. Portland slag cement
VI. Portland pozzolana cement (fly ash based )(PPC)
VII. Portland pozzolana cement (calcined clay based)
VIII. Hytrophobic cement
IX. Low heat portland cement
X. Sulphate resisting portland cement
5.3 Aggregates
Coarse aggregates of light weight with comparable strength is preferable
as it reduces dead load of structure. Aggregates (should not absorb more
then 10% of their own mass of water) and free form excessive sulphate in the
form of SO3 size of coarse aggregates is governed by following:

I. Size of structural member - aggregates should go to each corner of member


and cover reinforcement completely.
II. Distance between two main bars - aggregates should be small enough so that it
can pass through distance between two main bars. Due to this reason ,it is
kept 5 mm less than distance between two main bars.
III. Minimum cover - If aggregates size is more than the minimum cover
provided for member, then there is possibility of exposure of reinforcement to
environment so it is kept 5 mm less to minimum nominal cover.
In general,20 mm nominal size coarse aggregates is used for most of the work but in
the case of massive concreting , like dam comstruction,40 mm and even higher
nominal size can used. for extremely thin slabs, like shelf ,10 mm nominal size
aggregate is used for better finish.
Water:
Water used for mixing and curing shall be clean and free form injurious amounts of oils,
acids, alkalies, salts, sugar, organic materials etc. Potable water is preferable. The pH value of
water shall be not less than 6. Sea water is not recommended because of presence of harmful
salts in se water. Water found satisfactory of mixing is also suitable for curing of concrete.
Admixture
Admixture should not impair durability of concrete nor combine with the constituent to form
harmful compounds nor increase the risk of corrosion of reinforcement. Chloride content of
admixtures shall be independently tested as it is harmful to concrete.
Broadly, admixtures are divided into two parts:
i. Mineral admixture
 Fly ash
 Silica fume
 Rice husk ash
ii. Chemical admixture
 Accelerating admixture – Calcium chloride, Fluosilicate, Triethanolamine
 Retarding admixture – Sodium tartrate, Tartaric acid
 Water reducing or plasticiser – Calcium lignosulphonate
 Air entraining admixture – Aluminium cowder, Neutralised vinsol resin.

Reinforcement
Modulus of elasticity of steel shall be taken as 2x105 MPa
Three grades of steel is covered in this code
1. fe250
2. fe415
3. fe500
Recent development:Fe550 TMT(Thermo Mechanically Treated) bars is also available in market.
CONCRETE
The characteristic strength is defined as the strength of material below which not more than 5
percent of the test results are expected to fall. It is denoted by fck.
There is normally a gain of strength beyond 28 days also but the design should be based on 28 days
characteristic strength of concrete.

 Tensile strength of concrete is calculated using compressive strength by following formula.


Flexural strength,
fcr  0.7 f ck N / mm2

 The modulus of elasticity of concrete can be assumed as follows.


Ec  5000 fck N / mm2

Ec is short term static modulus of elasticity. Actual measured values may differ by 20
present from the values obtained from the above expression.
 The total shrinkage of concrete is significantly influenced by the total amount of water
present while mixing and to a lesser extent, by the cement content. the approximate value to
total shrinkage strain for design may be taken as 0.0003.
 Creep coefficient, which is used for the calculation of total creep depends upon age of
concrete at the time of loading applied on it.

WORKABILITY OF CONCRETE
Workability of concrete is defined as ease to work with concrete. There are five degree of
workability as follows:
Degree of workability Placing condition
Very low In highway construction a layer of lean concrete
with very low workability is used and it is
compacted using roller.
Low Mass concreting(like, dam construction)light
reinforced section of slab, beam, colomn
Medium Heavily reinforced section of slab, column,

beams and when pumping of concrete is


required
High In-situ piling
very high In-situ piling using tremie pipe
There are four tests for measurement of workability of concrete:
1 Compacting factor test- preferable for very low workability. Higher compacting factor
means high workability.
2 Slump test-preferable for low medium and high. its value varies from 25 (low )to 150
(high).
3 Veer-bee test – Higher value of means low workability.
4 Flow test.

DURABILITY OF CONCERETE
Durability of concrete is mainly influenced by following:
i the surrounding climate condition
ii the cover to embedded steel
iii the type and quality of constituent materials
iv the cement content and water/cement ratio of the concrete
v workmanship ,to obtain full compaction and efficient curing
vi the shape and size of the member
Exposure conditions:
There are five environmental exposure condition:
Table 3 : Environmental Exposure conditions
S.No. Environment Exposure condition
i Mild Concrete surface protected against weather.
Structure of coastal areas doesn’t come in this
category.
ii Moderate Concrete surface sheltered from severe rain ,saturated
air in coastal areas ,concrete continuously under normal
water and in contact with non –aggressive soil.
iii Severe Concrete surface exposed to severe rain, alternate

wetting and drying, completely immersed in sea water,


exposed to coastal environment.
iv Very severe Concrete surface exposed to sea water spray, corrosive
fumes, severe freezing condition and in contact with
aggressive soil/ground water.
v Extreme Surface of member in tidal zone or in direct contact
with liquid/solid aggressive chemicals.
There are the three constituents that adversely affects the concrete.
1. Chlorides - It increases rate of corrosion to steel. Due to this reason.
chloride content of admixture is tested separately.
2 Sulphates - Excessive amount of water soluble sulphate (expressed as
SO3) can cause expansion and disruption of concrete.
3 Alkali-aggregate reaction – Some aggregates containing particular type of silica
may be susceptible to attack by alkalis(Na2O and K2O)
originating from cement, producing an expansive reaction
which can cause cracking and disruption of concrete.
Concrete in sea water or exposed directly along the sea coast shall be at least M20 grade in
the case of plain cement concrete and M30 in case of reinforced cement concrete.

CONCRETE MIX PROPORTIONING


Concrete mix design is the calculation of proportion of constituent elements (Like, cement,
coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, water and sometime admixture also) to achieve desired
degree of workability of fresh concrete and desired strength, durability, surface finish of
hardened concrete.
 There are two type of concrete mix:
1 Design mix concrete
2 Normal mix concrete
Design mix is always preferable to nominal mix for characteristic strength 20 N/mm2 and
above nominal mix is used for M20and lesser strength concrete only.
GRADE of concret Nominal Mix proportion
(cement: sand: coarse aggregate)

M20 1:1.5:3
M15 1:2:4
M10 1:3:6
Design mix proportion must be by weight while nominal mix proportion could be by volume
also but by weight is preferable.
PRODUTION OF CONCRETE
Production of concrete for construction is done in batching plant.
FORMWORK
Vertical form wok of beam, column, walls is removed after 16-24 hrs of concreting (not
horizontal)
ASSEMBLY OF REINFORCEMENT
Actual concrete over at site should not devote from the required nominal cover by
0 to+10mm.(no negative variation is allowed)
TRANSPORTING, PLACING, COMPACTION AND CURING
Transporting and handling
After mixing, concrete shall be transported to the form work as rapidly as possible by
methods which will prevent the segregation. Common way of transportation are given below.
1. Head load
2. Dumper
3. Transit mixer if sites is far away from batching plant
4. Concrete pump
Placing the maximum permissible free fall of concrete may be taken as 1.5 m. if free fall is 2
m or 3m, then there may be possibility of segregation
Compaction
Concrete should be thoroughly compacted and fully worked around the reinforcement, and
into corners of the formwork. Common way of compaction are given below:
1. Manually by using steel rod
2. Needle vibrator (Most commonly used)
3. Surface vibrator(Used to compact slab concreting)
4. Form work vibrator
Now a days self compacting concrete is being used which does not require any compaction.

Curing
Curing is the process of preventing the loss of moisture from the concrete whilst
maintaining a satisfactory temperate regime. The prevention of moisture loss from the
concrete is particularly important if the water cement ratio is low. Broadly ,curing is divided
into two types:
i. Moist curing – Exposed surface of concrete shall be kept continuously in a
damp or wet condition by pending or by covering with a layer of sacking, canvas for at least
7 days from the date of placing of concrete. Steam curing can also be done for high strength
concrete. Railways sleepers are steam cured.
ii. Membrane curing – Curing compound may be used in line of moist curing. It
is applied to all exposed surfaces of the concrete as soon as possible after the concrete has set.
It prevents evaporation of concrete water content.
CONCRETING UNDER SPECIAL CONDITION
Concrete cast under water should not fall freely through the water otherwise, it may be
segregated.
There are few techniques for underwater concreting:
i. Tremie pipe method
ii. Direct placement with pumps
iii. Drop bottom bucket
iv. Grouting
SAMPLING AND STRENGTH OF DESIGNED CONCRETE MIX
Cubes casted using fresh concrete at the time of construction is tested for compressive
strength after 28 days but in the case of speedy work progress it may be tested for 7 days
strength also.

The unit weight of plain concrete and reinforced concrete may be taken as 24 kN/m2 and
25kN/m3 respectively for calculation of dead load.
Design load is the load to be taken for design of any structural member. In case of working
stress method it is characteristic load while appropriate partial safety factor is multiplied for
limit state design method.
FIRE RESISTANCE
A Structure is made fire resistance by using suitable construction material and providing
appropriate cover to steel. Measurement of fire resistance capacity of any structure is in terms
of hour for which structure can behave satisfactorily. Minimum width of beam that should be
used for fire resistance building is 200 mm.
ANALYSIS
Effective Span
a. Simply supported beam and slab-The effective span of a member that is not built
integrally eighth its supports shall be taken as clear span plus the effective depth of
slab or beam or centre to centre of supports, whichever is less.
b. Continuous beam or slab –
 If the width of support is less than 1/12th of clear span then effective span is same as
mentioned in (a).
 If the width of support is more than 1/12th of clear span or 600mm whichever is less
then effective span is as follows:

Moment and shear coefficient for continuous beams


Unless more exact estimates are made, for beams of uniform cross-section which
support substantially uniformly distributed loads over three or more span which do not differ
by more than 15 percent of the longest , the bending moment shear forces used in design may
be obtained using the coefficients given in table 12 and table 13 respectively

 Limit state of collapse: Compression
 Assumptions: (a), (c), (d) and (e) of 38.1 for flexural members are also applicable
to members subjected to combined axial load and bending. The assumption (b)
that the maximum strain in concrete at the outermost compression fibre is 0.0035
is also applicable when the neutral axis lies within the section and in limiting case
when the neutral axis lies along the edge of the section, in the later case the strain
varies from 0.0035 at the highly compressed edge to zero at the opposite edge as
shown by line (2) in the fig. (b). For purely axial compression, the strain is
assumed to be uniformly equal to 0.002 across the section as shown by the line (3)
in fig. (c). The strain distribution lines for these two cases intersect each other at a
depth of 3D/7 form the highly compressed edge. This point is assumed to act as a
fulcrum from the strain distribution line when the neutral axis lies outside the
section as shown in the fig. (C). The leads to the assumption that the strain at the
highly compressed edge is 0.0035 minus 0.75 times the strain at the least

 Slabs are considered as divided in each direction into middle strips and edge strips as
shown in fig. 25, the middle strip being three quarters of the width and each edge strip
one eight of the width.
 The maximum moments calculated as in D-1.1 apply only to the middle strips and no
redistribution shall be made.
 Tension reinforcement provided at mid span in the middle strip shall extend in the
lower part of the slab upto 0.25l from center of support of a continuous edge or 0.15l
of a discontinuous edge.
 Over the continous edges of a middle strip, the tension reinforcement shall extend in
the upper part of the slab a distance of 0.15l from the support, and atleast 50 percent
shall extend a distance of 0.3l.
 At a discontinuous edge negative moments may arise. They depend on the degree of
fixity at the edge of the slab but , in general tension reinforcement equal to 50 percent
of that provided at mid span extending 0.1l into the span will be sufficient.
 Reinforcement in edge strip, parallel to that edge, shall comply with the minimum
given in section 3 and the requirements for torsion given in D-1.8 to D-1.10.
 Torsion reinforcement shall be provided at any corner where the slab is simply
supported on both edges meeting at that corner. It shall consists of top and bottom
reinforcement, each with layers of bars placed parallel to the sides of the slab and
extending from the edges a minimum distance of one fifth of the shorter span. The
area of reinforcement in each of these four layers shall be three quarters of the each
required for maximum mid span moment in the slab.
 Torsion reinforcement equal to half that described in D-1.8 shall be provided at a
corner contained by edges over only one of which the slab is continous.
 Torsion reinforcements need not be provided at any corner contained by edges over
both of which the slab is continous.
 Torsion ly/lx is greater than 2, the slabs shall be designed as spanning one way.

 At least 50 percent of the tension reinforcement provided at mid span should extend to
the supports. The remaining 50 percent should extend to within 0.1lx or 0.1ly of the
support, as appropriate.

 Annexure G moments of resistance for rectangular and t sections


 Sections without compression reinforcement
The moment of resistance of rectangular sections without compression reinforcement
should be obtained as follows:
a. Determine the depth of neutral axis from the following equation:
xu 0.87 f y Ast

d 0.36 f ck b.d
b. If the value of xu/d is less than the limiting value (0.53,0.48 and 0.46), calculate
the moment of resistance by the following expression:
 A f 
M u  0.87 f y Ast d 1  st y 
 bdf ck 
c. If the value of xu/d is equal to the limiting value, the moment of resistance of the
section is given by the following expression:
X u max  xu max  2
M u.lim  0.36 1.0.42  bd f ck
d  d 
d. If xu/d is greater than the limiting value, the section should be redesigned.
In the above equations,
Xu = depth of neutral axis
d = effective depth
fy = characteristic strength of reinforcement
Ast = area of tension reinforcement
fck = characteristic compressive strength of concrete

b = width of the compression face


Mu.lim = limiting moment of resistance of a section without compression
reinforcement
Xu.max = limiting value of xu from 39.1
 Section with compression reinforcement
Where the ultimate moment of resistance of section exceeds the limiting value M u.lim
compression reinforcement may be obtained from the following equation.
M u  M u.lim  f sc Asc (d  d ')
Where
Xu,max = the limiting value of xu from 38.1
Asc = area of compression reinforcement and
d’ = depth of compression reinforcement form compression face.
The total area of tension reinforcement shall be obtained from the following equation:
Ast  As11  As12
Where,
Ast = area of the total tensile reinforcement
Ast1 = area of the tensile reinforcement for a singly reinforced section for Mu.lim
Ast 2  Asc . f sc / 0.87 f y

 FLANGED SECTION
 For xu < Dt, the moment of resistance may be calculated from the equation given in
G-1.1. Because it behaves as a rectangular section.
 The limiting value of the moment of resistance of the section may be obtained by the
following equation when the ratio Df/d does not exceed 0.2:

xu.max  xu.max   Df 
M u  0.36 1.042  f ck bwd  0.45 f ck (b f  bw ) D f

Where yf = (0.15 xu + 0.65Df), but not greater than Df, and the other symbols are same
as in G-1.1 and G-2.2.
 For xu,max > xu > Dt, the moment of resistance may be calculated by the equations
given in G-2.2 when Df/xu does not exceed 0.43 and G-2.2.1 when Df/xu exceeds 0.43;
in both cases substituting xu,max by xu.
