A large number of Indian Standard codes (IS Codes) are available that are meant for virtually every aspect of civil engineering one can think of. During one’s professional life one normally uses only a handful of them depending on the nature of work they are involved in. Civil engineers engaged in construction activities of large projects usually have to refer to a good number of IS codes as such projects entail use a variety of construction materials in many varieties of structures such as buildings, roads, steel structures, all sorts of foundations and what not.
From the past few days, I am getting huge requests to send the specific IS Codes to our Social Media Platforms. This post is for the people who are looking for the Indian Standard Code Books specifically for Civil engineers. The best part of this post is you can view and download all the Civil engineering IS code books in PDF.
To find the code easily, I am breaking the IS Codes in five tables.
Please Let us know whether it was helpful or not. It would be my pleasure if I could help you a pinch.
Attention
1. If you are viewing the below table on a Mobile device Scroll horizontally for better view.
2. In order to search the specific IS book enter the code number (Ex: 456) don’t include the IS before the code number in search.
