What is a concrete chimney?
A precast chimney shell is defined as a shell constructed wholly from precast reinforced concrete sections, assembled one on top of another, to form a freestanding, self-supporting cantilever. …
Is code 269 a book?
This standard covers the manufacture and chemical and physical requirements of 33 grade ordinary Portland cement. The standards given in Annex A contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this standard.

Is code 875 Part 3 wind load?
This Code provides information on wind effects for buildings and structures, and their components. Structures such as chimneys, cooling towers, transmission line towers and bridges are outside the scope of this Code. There are Indian Standards dealing with chimneys and cooling towers separately.
Is 269 a grade of cement?
All the three grades viz. IS 269 (33-grade), IS – 8112 (43 -grade) and IS – 12269 (53 -grade) were ordinary Portland cements.
What are the best books to learn structural concrete design?
If you pursue a career in structural concrete design, you will inevitable use many different books and find you regularly return to one in particular. For basic theory of reinforced concrete design, my favorite is “Reinforced Concrete Structures” by Robert Park and Thomas Paulay from 1975 (DOI: 10.1002/9780470172834).

How to choose the Best Concrete Code Book?
I suggest discussing two steps to find the best concrete book for you. First, research your local building code. Some nation’s building codes are adopted versions of US codes, for example adopting American Concrete Institute document 318. In this case, it makes sense to select a USA text book.
What are the best resources for learning the ACI 318 Building Code?
For learning the application of these methods using the ACI 318 code, I like the “PCA Notes on ACI 318-XX Building Code” that is published from the Portland Cement Association ( ISG Product ). This contains in-depth design examples with many figures using the code.
