A REVIEW ON A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TYPICAL R.C. BUILDING USING IS1893:2002 AND IS-1893:2016
Keywords:
Earthquake resistant design ,IS 1893, comparison, structural software, lateral loadAbstract
The sixth revision of IS 1893 (part 1) : 2016, “Criteria for Earthquake Resistant Design of
Structures” have been published by bureau of Indian standards. In reinforced concrete building, frames
are considered as main structural elements, which resist shear, moment, and torsion effectively. The frames
are subjected to various loads, where lateral loads are always predominant. The study focuses on the
comparison of various clauses of new IS 1893 (part 1) : 2016 with respect to old IS 1893 (part 1) : 2002.
The study helps in understanding main contributing factors, which lead to poor performance of structure
during the earthquake. So as to achieve their safe behaviour under earthquake in future. An attempt is
made to compare both standards using structural software.
