Prefabricated Construction Sectional Committee, CED 32

FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (First Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by
the Prefabricated Construction Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division
Council.

A series of national standards on the cellular concrete were formulated earlier, so as to provide standard products
for the construction of buildings. Cellular concrete was a class of material, which was developed commercially
abroad and then in the country. Considering the importance, standards for cellular concrete floor, roof and wall
elements were developed to guide both the manufacturers and the users of these elements.

This standard was first formulated in 1971 covering therein the physical properties, other general requirements
for the precast autoclaved reinforced cellular concrete wall slabs. The specification gives structural requirements
essential to ensure safe performance of slabs under vertical and horizontal loading without specifying the detailed
method of design. Earlier, the concerned sectional committee was of the opinion that the detailed method for the
design of these members was not within the scope of the specification, and moreover, the acceptability of the
design methods for such products, whether based on elastic theory or on load factor method, was not fully
established then even in countries having considerable experience in the manufacture and use of this type of
concrete. It is well established that as in other mass produced precast concrete products, the detailed design of
the units lies in the hands of the manufacturer rather than the user. Therefore, it was felt then that from the user's
angle, it would be more useful if the requirements regarding the performance and loading coupled with acceptance
tests are included in the specification. Some requirements in line with the above thinking were stipulated in the
standard in the 1971 version.

In this revision of the standard, the following changes/modifications have been incorporated:

a) A new clause for requirements of Aluminium powder has been added;

b) Criteria for minimum reinforcement has been added;
c) All the three amendments issued to the previous version of the standard have been incorporated;
d) Efforts have been made to coordinate with standards and practices prevailing in different countries; and
e) Existing cross references have been updated and new ones have been made.

This standard contributes to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 9: ‘Industry, Innovation and
Infrastructure’, particularly its target to develop quality, reliable, sustainable and resilient infrastructure, and also
promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization.

The composition of the Committee responsible for formulation of the standard is given in Annex C.

For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with the final, observed
or calculated value, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS 2 : 2022
'Rules for rounding off numerical values (second revision)'. The number of significant places retained in the
rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
