Indian standard code for civil engineering


What are IS Codes for Civil Engineering?

IS codes, also known as Indian Standard codes, are a collection of standards formulated by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) for diverse aspects of civil engineering. These codes offer guidelines, specifications, and safety prerequisites for construction materials, design parameters, testing techniques, and construction practices. They serve as a reference to guarantee consistency, safety, and excellence in civil engineering projects throughout India.

Work, Energy, and Power – Class 11 Physics NCERT | Formulas, Derivations & Examples

⚡ Work, Energy, and Power – Class 11 Physics (NCERT) This chapter from Class 11 Physics NCERT explains the basic concepts of Work , different forms of Energy , and the concept of Power . These are foundational ideas used in all branches of physics. 🧱 What is Work? Work is said to be done when a force is applied on a body and there is displacement in the direction of the force. Work (W) = F × d × cosθ F = Force d = Displacement θ = Angle between force and displacement ✅ Types of Work Positive Work → θ < 90° Negative Work → θ > 90° Zero Work → θ = 90° (e.g., circular motion) SI Unit: Joule (J) 🔋 What is Energy? Energy is the capacity to do work. It exists in various forms: mechanical, thermal, chemical, electrical, etc. 🔹 Kinetic Energy (K.E.) Energy possessed by a body due to motion. K.E. = ½mv² 🔹 Potential Energy (P.E.) Energy possessed due to position or configuration. P.E. = mgh Total Mecha...
