Full title and description

KMK 2.03.01-96 — "Concrete and reinforced concrete structures" (КМК 2.03.01-96). This is a national design standard setting rules, calculation methods and detailing requirements for concrete and reinforced concrete members and systems used in building and civil engineering works.

Abstract

KMK 2.03.01-96 provides normative provisions for the structural design, material characteristics, verification methods (limit states), reinforcement detailing, durability requirements and special calculation rules for concrete and reinforced concrete elements. It was issued as part of the KMK series of design standards and has since been superseded by a modernised code (SHNK 2.03.01-24).

General information

• Status: Replaced / superseded — document no longer the active design code; superseded by SHNK 2.03.01-24 (active).
• Publication date: 1996 (original edition).
• Publisher: Issued under the KMK series for the Republic of Uzbekistan (state construction/architecture authority — Goskomarkhitektstroy / Ministry of Construction and Housing-Communal Services of the Republic of Uzbekistan).
• ICS / categories: Concrete and concrete products; structural design (ICS approx. 91.100.30).
• Edition / version: Original edition: 1996 (KMK 2.03.01-96). Superseded edition: SHNK 2.03.01-24 (2024).
• Number of pages: ~146 pages (KMK 2.03.01-96, typical PDF reprints/catalog listings).

Scope

KMK 2.03.01-96 covers the normative rules for the design of structural concrete and reinforced concrete elements and assemblies used in buildings and civil structures. Topics include material properties and design values for concrete and reinforcement, load combinations for strength and serviceability checks, calculation methods for bending, shear and axial actions, detailing rules (anchorage, laps, spacing, concrete cover), treatment of long-term effects (creep, shrinkage), durability requirements, and particular provisions for work in seismic regions when used together with seismic design documents. The standard was intended for use in the national practice of Uzbekistan and other CIS countries applying KMK-type norms.

Key topics and requirements

• Design principles for concrete and reinforced concrete members based on limit states (ultimate and serviceability).
• Material properties and normative design resistances for concrete and reinforcement; classification of concrete grades and reinforcement classes.
• Rules for calculation of flexure, shear, axial load effects, combined actions and stability checks.
• Reinforcement detailing: minimum/maximum reinforcement, anchorage lengths, lap splices, stirrup spacing and development requirements.
• Durability measures: concrete cover, exposure classes, protective measures against corrosion and aggressive environments.
• Consideration of long-term effects (creep and shrinkage) in deformation and redistribution calculations.
• Local bearing and punching checks for concentrated loads and slab-column connections.
• Interaction with seismic design rules — to be applied alongside seismic codes (KMK/SHNK documents addressing seismic design and loads).

Typical use and users

Primary users are structural engineers, designers and CAD/analysis software developers working on reinforced concrete buildings and civil works in jurisdictions that historically used KMK norms (notably Uzbekistan and some CIS countries). Other users include contractors, quality-control laboratories, academic staff and students studying regional design practice, and regulatory/supervisory authorities reviewing design documents prepared under KMK rules.

Related standards

Key related documents and successors include: SHNK 2.03.01-24 (replacement / current code for concrete and reinforced concrete structures), KMK / SHNK series on loads and seismic design (e.g., KMK 2.01.03-96 Construction in seismic areas; KMK 2.01.07-96 Loads and impacts), applicable national GOST / material standards and relevant Russian SP/SNiP documents used in parallel practice (for example SP 63.13330.x series for concrete structures). Practitioners migrating from KMK 2.03.01-96 should follow the provisions and transitional rules in SHNK 2.03.01-24.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: KMK 2.03.01-96 is a national design standard titled "Concrete and reinforced concrete structures" that set out calculation rules, material values and detailing requirements for reinforced concrete construction in the KMK system.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers material properties, limit-state calculation methods (strength and serviceability), reinforcement detailing, durability and long-term effects (creep, shrinkage), checks for bending, shear, axial and combined actions, local bearing/punching and rules for use with seismic design documents.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Structural engineers, designers, contractors, reviewers and educators working under KMK/SHNK regulatory frameworks in Uzbekistan and neighbouring jurisdictions that recognize KMK-type codes.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: KMK 2.03.01-96 has been superseded. The active replacement is SHNK 2.03.01-24 (the updated code for concrete and reinforced concrete structures), approved and brought into force in 2024; users should apply SHNK 2.03.01-24 for current designs.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it belongs to the KMK family of construction design norms (group 2.xx for design rules). The KMK/SHNK series also includes complementary documents on loads, seismic design, foundations, steel and other structural materials.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Concrete; reinforced concrete; reinforced-concrete structures; structural design; reinforcement detailing; durability; KMK; SHNK; Uzbekistan; limit states; seismic design.
