List of Referred Indian Standard Codes For Civil Engineers

List of referred Indian Standard Codes for civil engineers
A large number of Indian Standard (IS) codes are available that are meant for
virtually every aspect of civil engineering one can think of. During one’s
professional life one normally uses only a handful of them depending on the nature
of work they are involved in. Civil engineers engaged in construction activities of
large projects usually have to refer to a good number of IS codes as such projects
entail use of lots of assorted construction materials in many varieties of structures
such as buildings, roads, steel structures, all sorts of foundations and what not.
A list of these codes can come in handy not only for them but also for construction-
newbies, students, etc. The list provided below may not be a comprehensive one, yet
it definitely includes some IS codes quite frequently used (while a few of them
occasionally) by construction engineers. The description of the codes in the list may
not be exactly the same as that written on the covers of the codes. Readers may add
more such codes to this list and also point out slips if found in the given list.
Indian standard codes are list of codes used for civil engineers in India for the
purpose of design and analysis of civil engineering structures
like buildings, dams, roads, railways, airports and many more
