PERMISSIBLE STRESSES (CLAUSE B-2,

IS456:2000),Permissible Stresses in Concrete ( IS
456),Permissible Stress in Steel Reinforcement ( IS 456)

The working stress method is based upon the concept of

permissible stresses. Permissible stresses are obtained
by dividing the ultimate strength of concrete or yield
strength of steel (0.2% proof stress) by appropriate
factors of safety. The factors of safety used in working
stress method are:

(i) For concrete (a) in bending compression – 3.0

(b) in direct compression – 4.0

(ii) For steel – 1.78

There are greater chances of variation of strength of concrete due to improper compaction,
inadequate curing and variation in the properties of concrete. The chances of variation in
the properties of steel are less as it is fabricated in factories where good workmanship and
better quality control is possible. So, lesser value of factor of safety is used for steel as
compared to concrete.

The values of permissible stresses for various grades of concrete are given in Table 2.1 and
for steel are given in Table 2.2.

Notes:

(i) The bond stress given above for tension is increased by 25% for bars in compression.

(ii) The bond stress for plain bars is increased by 60% for deformed bars.
