IS Codes for Civil Engineering


A large number of Indian Standard (IS) codes are available that are meant for virtually every aspect of civil engineers in their educational or professional life. Civil engineers engaged in construction activities of large projects usually have to refer to a good number of IS codes. Here we enclose the catalog of IS codes for civil engineers….

Some of useful IS Codes for Civil Engineering are separately listed below:-

IS: 456-2000– code of practice for plain and reinforced concrete.

IS: 800-2007 – General Construction In Steel – Code of Practice
