Review and Comparison of Codal Provisions of IS 456:1978 and IS 456:2000
Abstract: IS 456 is the Indian Standard Code of Practice for Plain and Reinforced Concrete and is the most important document for the design of reinforced concrete structures. The IS 456:1978 edition was mainly based on the Working Stress Method and was widely used for more than two decades. This method ensured safety by restricting stresses under service load conditions within permissible limits. The rapid development in concrete technology, availability of high-strength materials, improved construction practices, and increased emphasis on durability and serviceability necessitated the revision of the 1978 version of the code. Consequently, the Bureau of Indian Standards revised the code and published IS 456:2000, which introduced the Limit State Design philosophy. This paper compares the main provisions of IS 456:1978 and IS 456:2000.
