This document provides amendments and corrections to IRC:112-2011 "Code of Practice for Concrete Road Bridges". It contains 9 amendments to update tables and figures and clarify language in various clauses. It also contains 3 errata to correct equations and references. The key changes include:
- Updating creep coefficient values in Table 6.9 based on concrete grade and atmospheric conditions.
- Clarifying that design shear force reduction accounts for inclined compression chords and tension chords only.
- Replacing "VRdmax" with "VRd.max" for clarity on maximum shear resistance.
- Increasing the recommended clear cover for use of surface reinforcement from 50mm to 75mm.
