Errata To IRC 112-2011

62 INDIAN HIGHWAYS, AUGUST 2013
As approved by Bridges Specifcations and Standards (BSS) Committee of IRC in its third meeting held on
29.05.2013 at New Delhi.
These Errata were prepared and recommended by Concrete (Plain, Reinforced and Pre-Stressed) Structures
Committee (B-4) of IRC and placed before the BSS Committee. The BSS Committee in its third meeting held
on 29.05.2013 approved these Errata.
These Errata are also available on IRC Website for wider circulation and beneft of the Highway professionals.
