Handbook-on-Reinforcement-and-Detailing (SP-34-1987) - Indian Code

Users of various civil engineering codes have been feeling the need for explanatory
handbooks and other compilations based on Indian Standards. The need has been
further emphasized in view of the publication of the National Building Code of India in
1970 and its implementation. The Expert Group set up in 1972 by the Department of
Science and Technology, Government of India carried out in-depth studies in various
areas of civil engineering and construction practices. During the preparation of the Fifth
Five-Year Plan in 1975, the Group was assigned the task of producing a Science and
Technology plan for research, development and extension work in the sector of housing
and construction technology. One of the items of this plan was the production of design
handbooks, explanatory handbooks and design aids based on the National Building
Code and various Indian Standards and other activities in the promotion of the National
Building Code. The Expert Group gave high priority to this item and on the
recommendation of the Department of Science and Technology, the Planning
Commission approved the following two projects which were assigned to the Bureau of
Indian Standards :
a) Development programmc on code implementation for building and civil
engineering construction, and
b) Typification for industrial buildings.
A Special Committee for Implementation of Science and Technology Projects (SCIP)
consisting of experts connected with different aspects was set up in 1974 to advise the BlS
Directorate General in identification and for guiding the development of the work. Under
the first programme, the Committee has so far identified subjects for several explanatory
handbooks/compilations covering appropriate Indian Standards codes specifications
which include the following :
Design Aids for Reinforced Concrete to IS : 456-1978 (SP : 16-1980)
Explanatory Handbook on Masonry Code (SP : 20-1981)
