Session 50 : Refreshing fundamentals of IS 456:2000

INTRODUCTION

LIVE TECHNICAL DISCUSSION SERIES

We are receiving number of request from engineers to arrange a discussion on the fundamental of RCC structures. Accordingly, we have planned a live technical discussion focusing on the following areas:

  • Fundamentals of RCC structures as per IS 456:2000
  • Design of beams, columns, slab, foundation, etc.
  • Software applications
  • Reinforcement detailing as per IS 456:2000

Note : Earthquake resistant design is excluded from the discussion.

We are glad to inform that Dr. Ashok K. Jain will join the live discussion.

The live discussion is planned in Q&A mode. Your specific queries/doubts/discussion points related to IS 456:2000 are invited in advance. It would help us to structure the discussion.

About the Expert

Dr. Ashok K. Jain is currently a structural consultant having over 40 years of experience. Formerly, a Professor of Civil Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, Roorkee. Dr. Jain received his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI in 1978. He received gold and silver medals in B.E. (Civil Engineering) and M.E. (Structural Engineering) at the University of Roorkee, Roorkee. He is well known for imparting latest knowledge on each subject/topic through latest analytic tools such as MATLAB, MS Excel, SAP2000, and ETABS.

Dr. Jain has published over 50 refereed journal papers and over 60 conference papers on various topics. He has authored five text books:

  • Dynamics of Structures with MATLAB Applications, Published by Pearson (2016)
  • Reinforced Concrete – Limit State Design now in its 7th edition (2012) – This book has the distinction of being the first book on the subject published in 1983 in India and enjoys excellent reputation till date.
  • Elementary Structural Analysis, 3rd edition (2023)
  • Advanced Structural Analysis with Finite Element method, 4th edition, (2023)
  • Fortran programming, second edition (1990) – now discontinued

He has delivered keynote addresses in many conferences and conducted short specialist courses on Reinforced Concrete, water retaining structures, ductile detailing of structures, dynamics of structures and earthquake resistant design.

SESSION 27 – DESIGN LIFE OF RCC STRUCTURES

INTRODUCTION

Structural Engineers, Civil Engineers, Owners and other construction professionals are concerned about the life of a structure. All the stakeholders desire a long life for the structure. Also, there is a lot of curiosity amongst the professionals in the wake of monuments being designed for up to 1000 years.

It is difficult and challenging to predict life of a concrete structure as there are multiple factors affecting the same like structural system, design parameters, concrete mix design, type of reinforcement, quality assurance during execution, protection against corrosion, earthquake resistant design, regular maintenance of the structures – to name a few.

In view of the above, the forthcoming online technical deliberation is on design life of RCC structures. The discussion therefore would be focused on the following important areas:

  • Quality control and assurance in lab and at site.
  • Construction Chemicals in concrete mix , grouting, coatings for reinforcement
  • Choices of Reinforcement Steel from durability criterion including coating, surface treatment, alloys, corrosion resistance
  • Deterioration of concrete considering cement chemistry & concrete and concreting practices
  • Predictions of earthquake forces and reform in material science considering ductility
