I.S. Code - 456 Recommendation:: 1. For Concrete

The document provides recommendations for concrete mix design parameters and reinforcement details for structural elements. It includes formulas to calculate modulus of elasticity, flexural strength, compressive strength of concrete. It also specifies minimum concrete grade, cover requirements, effective span calculations, deflection limits, longitudinal and shear reinforcement ratios and spacing for beams, slabs and columns. Miscellaneous recommendations include development length, crack width limits, water-cement ratio and aggregate size.

! = 5000 fck

B) modulus of rupture / bending tensile strength/ Flexure strength :- f! cr = 0.7 × fck


fck
C) Bending compressive strength :- σ

fck
D) Direct compressive stress :- σ
! cc =

2. Minimum / Nominal cover for different exposure conditions:

Why needed: - To protect reinforcement from fire and corrosion.(i.e. to ensure durability and fire
resistance)

S.NO Exposure Explanation Grade of Nominal W/C


Condition concrete Cover (mm) Ratio
1. Mild Concrete surface protected against M-20 20 0.55
weather or aggressive conditions.
2. Moderate Concrete exposed to rain or in contact M-25 30 0.50
with aggressive soil / ground water
3. Severe Concrete completely immersed into M-30 45 0.45
the sea water, alternate wetting and
drying
4. Very Concrete exposed to corrosive fumes M-35 50 0.45
