FOREWORD

This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the
Housing Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
Considerable shortage of houses in the country, which is also increasing continuously, has led to
illcreasing stress being laid in the development programmes of central and state governments, on
facilitating speedy and economical construction crf houses. The problem of housing being greatest
amongst the lower income groups, both rural and urban, the greatest stress is being laid on housing for
these target group.
This calls for development and standardization of new building materials and construction techniques
which are simple and economical, commensurate with structural and hygienic safety and durability. in
order to ensure speedy and economical construction.
This standard is one of the series of standards on new materials and techniques ofroof/floor construc-
tion which when implemented is likely lo result in subslantiai savings in materials and cost of construc-
tion. in addition to achieving speedy construction. The other standards in the series arc:
a) Design and construction of roofs using precast reinforced concrete L-panel - Code of practice
b) Prefabricated brick panel and partially precast concretc joist for flooring and roofing ~.
Specification
c) Design and construction of roofs and floors with prefabricated brick panel --- Code of practice
d) Precast reinforced concrete channel units for construction of floors and roofs - Specificaticjn
e) Design and construction of floor and roof with precast reinforced concrete channel units
Code of practice
f) Precast reinforced conercte planks and joists for roofing and Hoorlng ~~-Specification
g) Design and construction of floor and roof with precast reinforced concrete planks and joists -
Code of practice
h) Construction of walls precast using concrete stone masonry blocks -- Code of practice
PrefabI-icated reinforced concrete L-panel can be used for construction of sloping roofs in place of
conventional roofings. It mainly consists of a full span reinforced concrete I.+hapes component
thereby combining sheeting, puriins and battens of a conventional sloping roof into a monolithically
composed component fuililiing the functions of all these separate components. The panel acts as
L-beam having wide flange for resisting flexural comprcssivc stress and hence resulting in an cHicicnt USC
OF maternal thereby leading tci considcrabic saving in material and overall cost. Additional advantages of
L-panel are its durability, aesthetic presence and its reusability to suit temporary constructions.
Considerable assistance has been rendered in the preparation of this standard by the Centra Building
Research Ln\titutr, Roorkee, who have developed this technique.
The compositiorr of the technical committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is given in
Annex B.
For the purpose of dcclding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with. the
final value, observed or calculated, expressing the I-csult c>f n test or amtiysis, shall be rounded of\‘ in
accordance with LS 2 : 1960 bKulcs fur rounding off numerical vatucs ( revised )‘. The number of
significant places retain4 in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the speciiied value III
this standard.
