In India, load testing of structures is subject to various codes and standards, often in alignment with international norms. Phans4 Consulting helps the engineering companies in complying the following codes and standards that pertain to load testing of structures:

  1. IS 4656: Part 1 (2003): This Indian Standard, published by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), provides guidelines for load testing of buildings and structures. It outlines the general principles and procedures for load testing and suggests criteria for acceptance.
  2. IS 13311: Part 1 (1992): This standard also published by BIS deals with methods of non-destructive testing of concrete. It includes procedures for assessing the quality of concrete in structures.
  3. IS 11384 (1985): This standard offers guidelines for the testing of concrete blocks for strength and quality. While not specifically about load testing, it’s essential in the context of assessing the load-bearing capacity of masonry structures.
  4. IS 5525 (1969): This standard provides procedures for testing of aggregates for concrete, including the determination of aggregate impact value, which can be relevant to the quality of concrete used in structural elements.
  5. IRC 6: (2017): The Indian Roads Congress (IRC) publishes this code that focuses on the load testing of bridges. It provides comprehensive guidelines and procedures for load testing of bridges to ensure their structural integrity and safety.
  6. BIS IS 516 (1959): While primarily about the methods of tests for strength of concrete, this standard is essential for assessing the quality of concrete, a crucial factor in structural load-bearing capacity.
  7. BIS IS 2770: Part 1 (1967): This Indian Standard outlines procedures for testing building stones for structural purposes, which is relevant to load-bearing elements in construction.
  8. IS 1200 (Part 14): (1992): Part of the IS 1200 series, this standard provides recommendations for the measurement of dynamic properties of soils for foundation design and analysis.
