Consider the following statements about IS 13920.

1. It applies in Zones III, IV and V.

2. It requires a minimum concrete grade of M20.

3. It permits lap splices at the ends of columns.

Which of the statements are correct?

  • A.1 and 2 only
  • B.1, 2 and 3
  • C.2 and 3 only
  • D.1 and 3 only

Answer: A

The first two are correct statements of the standard. The third is wrong: splices are confined to the central half of the member, because the ends are where hinging and the largest bar stresses occur and a lap there would be the weakest point at the worst location.
