📚 10 Important IS Codes Every Civil Engineer Should Know!

In this video, we cover some of the most important Indian Standards (IS Codes) used in Civil Engineering for design, construction, concrete, loads, earthquake-resistant design and materials.

IS Codes Covered:

IS 456:2000 – Plain & Reinforced Concrete
IS 875 (Part 1) – Dead Loads
IS 875 (Part 2) – Imposed/Live Loads
IS 875 (Part 3) – Wind Loads
IS 1893 (Part 1) – Earthquake-Resistant Design
IS 10262:2019 – Concrete Mix Proportioning
IS 2062 – Structural Steel
IS 383 – Aggregates for Concrete
IS 2112 – OPC 43 Grade Cement
IS 13920 – Ductile Detailing of RCC Structures

⚠️ Important: Always verify the latest applicable edition/amendments and project specifications before using any IS Code for actual design or construction.

This video is useful for Civil Engineers, Site Engineers, Design Engineers, Planning Engineers, Diploma Civil, B.Tech Civil, GATE, SSC JE, RRB JE, AE/JE and Civil Engineering students.

How to calculate the number of bricks required in 1 cubic meter (1 m³) without mortar? In this video, we will learn the complete step-by-step calculation using the standard brick size 190 mm × 90 mm × 90 mm.

📌 Calculation:

Standard brick size = 190 × 90 × 90 mm
Volume of one brick = 1,539 cm³
Volume of 1 m³ = 1,000,000 cm³
Number of bricks = 1,000,000 ÷ 1,539
≈ 649 bricks

This simple civil engineering calculation is useful for Civil Engineers, Site Engineers, Quantity Surveyors, Estimation Engineers, Planning Engineers and Civil Engineering Students.

Learn the Rebound Hammer Test (Schmidt Hammer Test) in a simple handwritten-note format. It is a non-destructive test (NDT) used to assess the surface hardness and estimate the compressive strength of hardened concrete.

In this video:

✅ Rebound Hammer Test
✅ Schmidt Hammer Principle
✅ Apparatus & Parts
✅ Step-by-Step Test Procedure
✅ Rebound Number (R)
✅ Test Positions
✅ Average Rebound Number
✅ Estimation of Compressive Strength
✅ Important Precautions
✅ Factors Affecting Test Results

Principle:

Higher rebound number → harder concrete surface → generally higher estimated strength.

The rebound hammer provides an indirect estimate of concrete strength. Proper calibration and correlation with other test results are important for reliable assessment.

This video is useful for Civil Engineers, Site Engineers, Quality Engineers, Diploma Civil, B.Tech Civil, GATE, SSC JE, RRB JE, AE/JE, and construction professionals.

Learn the Compressive Strength Test of Concrete (Cube Test) in a simple handwritten-note format. This is one of the most important tests used to determine the compressive strength of hardened concrete.

In this video:

✅ Compressive Strength Test
✅ Concrete Cube Test
✅ Standard Cube Size – 150 × 150 × 150 mm
✅ 7 Days & 28 Days Testing
✅ Compression Testing Machine (CTM)
✅ Step-by-Step Test Procedure
✅ Compressive Strength Formula
✅ Sample Calculation
✅ Concrete Strength in MPa / N/mm²

Formula:

Compressive Strength = Maximum Load at Failure ÷ Loaded Area
Example:
Load = 675 kN
Area = 150 × 150 = 22,500 mm²
Compressive Strength = 30 N/mm² = 30 MPa

This video is useful for Civil Engineers, Site Engineers, Quality Engineers, Diploma Civil, B.Tech Civil, GATE, SSC JE, RRB JE, AE/JE, and construction professionals.

Learn the Slump Cone Test of Concrete in a simple handwritten-note format. This test is used to determine the workability/consistency of freshly mixed concrete.

In this video:

✅ Slump Cone Test
✅ Apparatus & Cone Dimensions
✅ Step-by-Step Test Procedure
✅ 3 Layers & 25 Strokes Each
✅ Measurement of Slump
✅ Types of Slump
✅ Slump Value & Workability
✅ Applications of Slump Test

Important Data:

🔹 Cone Height = 300 mm
🔹 Top Diameter = 100 mm
🔹 Bottom Diameter = 200 mm
🔹 Tamping Rod = 16 mm × 600 mm
🔹 Each layer = 25 strokes

Slump = Difference between the original height of the concrete and the height of the slumped concrete.

This video is useful for Civil Engineers, Site Engineers, Quality Engineers, Diploma Civil, B.Tech Civil, GATE, SSC JE, RRB JE, AE/JE, and construction professionals.
