The standard was revised to rationalize imposed load values based on recent studies and foreign standards, allow for a 50% reduction in loads for multi-story column design, and require posting of floor load capacities.
This document provides guidelines for imposed loads, or live loads, to be considered in structural design of buildings in India. It outlines minimum load values for floors, roofs, parapets, and other building elements, based on intended occupancy and use. Load values are specified for common occupancies like residential, offices, stores, and more. The guidelines also address load reduction for vertical members, posting required floor capacities, and other considerations like impact loads and vibration effects. The objective is to ensure structural safety of buildings while avoiding overdesign through excessive assumed loading.

This document is Part IV of the Indian Standard Glossary of Terms Relating to Cement Concrete. It defines various types of concrete, including aerated concrete, autoclaved concrete, cast-in-place concrete, castable refractory, cellular concrete, and shotcrete/gunite. The definitions provided are intended to standardize terminology used in cement and concrete technology in India. The glossary was developed by the Cement and Concrete Sectional Committee of the Indian Standards Institution.
This document lists 86 references related to concrete technology. It includes books on concrete chemistry, properties, mix design, testing, durability, construction techniques, and standards. Many of the references are publications from organizations like ACI, RILEM, Cement and Concrete Association. The list covers topics like aggregates, admixtures, lightweight concrete, precast concrete, corrosion, and non-destructive testing of hardened concrete. It also provides 50 listings of relevant Indian Standards for cement, concrete, and their testing.
Water quality has a significant impact on concrete strength. Impurities like chlorides, sulfates, and dissolved solids can reduce strength if present in high concentrations. Testing the compressive strength of concrete made with local water compared to distilled water determines if the local water is suitable. While seawater reduces early strength by 10-15% and may cause corrosion of reinforcement, it can be used for unreinforced concrete if the mix is redesigned. However, seawater is prohibited for reinforced or prestressed concrete per current Indian standards due to corrosion risks.

MEASUREMENT OF BUILDING AND
CIVIL ENGINEERING WORKS
PART III BRICKWORK
( Third Revision)
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part III) (Third Revision ) was adopted by
the Indian Standards Institution on 19 July 1976, after the draft
finalized by the Civil Works Measurement Sectional Committeehad
been approved by theCivil Engineering Division Council.
0.2 Measurement occupies a very important place in planning and
execution of any civil engineering work from the time of first-estimates
to final completion and settlement of payments for the project.
Methods followed for measurement are not uniform and considerable
differences exist between practices followed by one construction agency
and another and also between various Central and State Government
departments; While it is recognized that each system of measurement
h,as to be specifically related to the administrative and financial organi-
zations within the department responsible for work, a unification of the
various systems at technical level has been accepted as very desirable,
specially as it permits a wider circle of operation for civil engineering
contractors and eliminates ambiguities and misunderstandings arising out
of inadequate understanding of various systems followed.
0.3 Among the various civil engineering items, measurement of buildings
was the first to be taken up for standardization and this standard
having provisions relating to all building works, was first published in
1958 and then revised in 1964.
0.4 In the course of usage of this standard by various construction
agencies in the country, several clarifications and suggestions for
modifications were received and as a result of study, the Sectional
Committee decided that its scope, besides being applicable to buildings,
should be expanded so as to cover civil engineering works like industrial
and river valley project works.

5. is : 1296 ( Part III ) - 1976
0.5 Since various trades are not related to one another, the Committee
decided that method of measurement for each trade as given in IS : 1200-
1964* be issued separately as a different part, which will be helpful to
specific users in various trades. This part covering method of measure-
ment of brickwork applicable to building as well as civil engineering
works was, therefore, issued as a second revision in 1970.
0.6 In the course of use of this standard in the past five years based on
suggestions received, certain amendments were issued to this standard.
This third revision has been prepared to incorporate these amendments.
0.7 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this
standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated,
expressing the result of a measurement, shall be rounded off in accordance
with IS :2-1960t. The number of significant places retained in the
rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in
this standard.
1.. SCOPE
1.1 This standard ( Part III ) covers the method of measurement of
brickwork in buildings and civil engineering works.
NOTE- The method of measurement of refractory brickwork is covered in IS : 12@)
( Part VI )-1974$
2. GENERAL
2.1 Clubbing of Items- Items may be clubbed together provided that
break up of clubbed items is on the basis of detailed descriptions of items
as stated in this standard.
2.2 Booking of Dimensions -In booking dimensions, the order shall
be consistent and generally in the sequence of length, breadth or width
and height or depth or thickness.
2.3 Measurement-All work shall be measured net in the decimal
system, as fixed in place, as given below:
a) Dimensions shall be measured to the nearest 0.01 m,
b) Areas shall be worked out to the nearest 0.01 m*, and
c) Cubic contents shall be worked out to the nearest O-01 rns.
