FOREWORDUsers of various civil engineering codes have been feeling the need for explanatory handbooks and other compilations based on Indian Standards. The need has been further emphasized in view of the publication of the National Building Code of India in 1970 and its implementation. The Expert Group set up in 1972 by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India carried out in-depth studies in various areas of civil engineering and construction practices. During the preparation of the Fifth Five-Year Plan in 1975, the Group was assigned the task of producing a Science and Technology plan for research, development and extension work in the sector of housing and construction technology. One of the items of this plan was the production of design handbooks, explanatory handbooks and design aids based on the National Building Code and various Indian Standards and other activities in the promotion of the National Building Code. The Expert Group gave high priority to this item and on the recommendation of the Department of Science and Technology, the Planning Commission approved the following two projects which were assigned to the Bureau of Indian Standards : a) Development programmc on engineering construction, and b) Typification for industrial code implementation for building and civil
buildings.
A Special Committee for Implementation of Science and Technology Projects (SCIP) consisting of experts connected with different aspects was set up in 1974 to advise the BlS Directorate General in identification and for guiding the development of the work. Under the first programme, the Committee has so far identified subjects for several explanatory handbooks/compilations covering appropriate Indian Standards codes specifications which include the following : Design Aids for Reinforced Concrete to IS : 456-1978 (SP : 16-1980)

This Handbook provides information on properties of reinforcing steel and &ta-iling requirements, including storage, fabrication, assembly, welding and placing of reinforcement in accordance with IS : 456-1978. As a result of the introduction of limit state method of design for reinforced concrete structures and the concept of development length, detailing has become extremely important as many of the design requirements are to be met through detailing. This Handbook is expected to guide the designer in detailing which include correct positioning of bare for a particular type of structural element and preparation of bar bending schedule. The detailing requirements as specified in IS : 4561978 have. been brought out as applicable to different structural elements in a building and explamed, wherever necessary. The relevant Indian Standards and other literature available on the subject have been taken into consideration in preparing the Handbook. The Handbook will be useful to concrete design engineers, field engineers and students of civil engineering. Some of the important points to be kept in view in the use of the Handbook are :
a) The reinforcement
has to cater to forces (bending moment, shear force, direct compression or direct te,nsion) at sections consistant with development length requirements at the particular section. Sound engineering judgement shall be exercized while applying the provisions herein and detailing should be such that the structural element satisfies the requirements of performance for which it is meant. Typical detailing drawings are included to illustrate one possible method of arrangement of bars for a particular condition. They should not be construde as the only possible method. the importance of ductility requirements in structures subjected to for
b) Considering
severe earthquakes, a separate section is included on the detailing requirements buildings in severe earthquake zones (Zones IV and V of IS : 1893-1984).

The Handbook is based on the first draft prepared by the Central Public Works Depart-ment, New Delhi. Shri B. R. Narayanappa. Deputy Director, and Shri P. S. Chadha, Officer on Special Duty, Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). were associated with the work. The assistance rendered by Shri A. C. Gupta, Assistant Chief Design Engineer, National Thermal Pdwer Corporation (NTPC), New Delhi, in the preparation
of this Handbook
specially in the formulation
