STANDARD
MS 1195 : PART 2 : 1991
ICS : 91.080.40
This Malaysian Standard, which had been approved by the Building and Civil Engineering
Industry Standards Committee and endorsed by the Council of the Standards and Industrial
Research Institute of Malaysia (SIRIM) was published under the authority of the SIRIM Council
in February, 1991.
SIRIM wishes to draw attention to the fact that this Malaysian Standard does not purport to
include all the necessary provisions of a contract.
The Malaysian Standards are subject to periodical review to keep abreast of progress in the
industries concerned. Suggestions for improvements will be recorded and in clue course brought to
the notice of the Committees charged with the revision of the standards to which they refer.

FOREWORD
This Part of the Malaysian Standard Code of Practice has been prepared b~ the Technical
Committee on Structural Use of Concrete under the authority of the Building and Civil
Engineering Industry Standards Committee.
This Part of Malaysian Standard was based on BS 8110 : Part 2 : 1985
Structural Use on Concrete. Part 2 : Special circumstances.
British Standard
The design parameter were basically adopted from the BS 8110 : Part 2 : 1985 except for creep
and shrinkage where AS 3600 : 1988 was adopted. This is due to unavailability of local data at
present.
The Part I of this Malaysian Standard gives recommendations for design and construction. These
recommendations relate particularly to routine building construction which makes up lhe majuruy
of structural applications; they are in the form of a statement of design objectives and limit state
requirements followed by methods to ensure that these are met.
Generally, these methods will involve calculations for one limit state and simple deemedto
satisfy provisions for the others; for example with reinforced concrete, initial design will
normally be for the ultimate limit state, with span/depth ratios and bar spacing rules used to
check the limit states of deflection and cracking respectively. This approach is considered the
most appropriate for the vast majority of cases.
However, circumstances may arise that would justify a further assessment of actual behavior, in
addition to simply satisfying limit state requirements. This Part of Malaysian Standard gives
recom mencla tions to cover the most co ni monly 0CC un ng cases that requ ire addi do nal information
or alternative procedures to those given in Part I of Malaysian Standard. Thus, this lari is
complementary to Part I.
NOTE. The numbers in square brackets used throughout the text of this standard relate to the bibliographic reference given
in appendix A.
Compliance with a Malaysian Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.
