Indian Standard (IS) Codes
Master List

The bible for RCC design. Covers limit state method, durability, detailing, and general construction practices.

Limit State Method for steel structures. Covers tension/compression/flexure members, connections, and stability.

Covers Dead, Live, Wind, Snow, and Special loads. Essential for calculating forces acting on structures.

Criteria for seismic design. Defines zones, response spectra, base shear calculation, and dynamic analysis methods.

Mandatory detailing rules for seismic zones III-V. Focuses on confinement ties, hooks, and plastic hinge zones.

Design of water tanks and reservoirs. Focus on crack control and watertightness.

Guidelines for isolated footings, rafts, and mat foundations. Covers bearing capacity and settlement limits.

Design and construction of driven, bored, and precast piles. Includes load testing procedures.

Code of practice for determination of ultimate and safe bearing capacity using SPT and Plate Load Tests.

Method for field density determination of cohesionless soil (Sand Replacement Method).

Guidelines for concrete mix design (IS 10262:2019). Steps for M20-M80 grades with trial mixes.

Specification for hot rolled medium and high tensile strength structural steel. Grades E250, E350, etc.

Specification for Ready Mixed Concrete (RMC). Quality control at batching plants.

Methods of test for strength of concrete. Cube crushing tests and sampling procedures.

Series of tests for fineness, soundness, setting time, and compressive strength of cement.

Specification for High Strength Deformed Steel Bars and Wires for Concrete Reinforcement (Fe415, Fe500).
