Based on the provided reference, the code discussed is for RCC beams, not specifically for an RCC retaining wall.
The reference details several aspects of designing reinforced concrete elements, but its focus is clearly on beams. The information provided includes:
- Rules for the design of RCC beams according to IS 456-2000.
- Discussions about the different types of shear reinforcement used in concrete members.
- The crucial reasons why shear reinforcement is required in structural elements like beams to resist shear forces.
- An overview of the various types of singly reinforced beam sections.
While both beams and retaining walls are types of reinforced concrete structures designed using codes like IS 456-2000, the specific topics listed in the reference (beam design rules, shear reinforcement, beam sections) pertain directly to beams and not the unique design considerations for retaining walls (which involve lateral earth pressure, stability against overturning and sliding, etc.).
Therefore, the code information described in the reference is specific to the design of RCC beams.
