This document provides design aids for reinforced concrete structures according to Indian Standard IS: 456-1978 Code of Practice for Plain and Reinforced Concrete. It includes charts, tables, and examples to aid in the design of flexural members (beams and slabs), compression members (columns), shear and torsion, development length and anchorage, working stress method designs, deflection calculations, and general reference tables. The design aids are intended to supplement an explanatory handbook on IS: 456-1978 by reducing design time for common structural elements using limit state design principles. Material properties, stress-strain relationships, and the basis for the design aids are explained.
