| Abstract: |
Evolution of seismic design provisions in various Indian Standards over the last 50 years have been reviewed in this paper. Seismic provisions of Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) code (IS 1893), Indian Road Congress (IRC) standard (IRC:6 & IRC:SP:114) and Indian Railway standards (IRS code) are compared. Design parameters for comparison include the seismic zone factor / peak ground acceleration, importance factor, local soil condition, design spectra and response reduction factor. |
