Which method of design IS 456 2000 recommends?

The latest revision of this standard was done in year 2000, and reaffirmed 2021. This code uses the limit state design approach as well as the working stress design approach. However the Code recommends use of the limit state design approach. It is written for use in India.

On what parameters do we include factor of safety in Limit States design?

While in the Working Stress Method, the safety factor is often referred to as being the ratio of the strength of the material to the permissible stress. However, in the Ultimate Limit State: safety factors of 1.2 times the dead loads, 1.6 times the live loads and 1.3 times the wind loads are implemented.

IS 456 2000 recommends that in any column a minimum reinforcement should be used?

2) Minimum number of bars for rectangular column is 4 and Minimum bars for circular column is 6. 6) The minimum size of rcc column as per IS 456 : 2000 is 9″ x 9″, contain steel reinforcement of 4 bars of 12mm with stirrups of 8mm steel rings at a distance of 150mm centre to centre.

What are the recommendation for slab design and its reinforcement as per IS 456 2000?

The area of reinforcement in either direction in a slab should not be less than 0.15 percent of the total cross-sectional area in case of mild steel reinforcement. In the case of high strength deformed bars, this values can be reduced to 0.12 percent.

What is ultimate limit state and serviceability limit state?

Serviceability limit states (SLS) that represent criteria governing normal functional or operational use. Ultimate limit states (ULS) that represent the failure of the structure and its components usually when subjected to extreme values of actions or action effects.

What is serviceability limit state design?

The Serviceability Limit State (SLS) is defined as the state of design beyond which a structural system loses operationally its serviceability for the actual service load that the structure is subjected to.

What is limit state design in civil?

Limit state design (LSD) refers to a structural engineering design method. A degree of loading or other actions imposed on a structure can result in a ‘limit state’, where the structure’s condition no longer fulfils its design criteria, such as; fitness for use, structural integrity, durability, and so on.
