IS 13935 (Part 1 & 2) | Earthquake Safety Assessment and Retrofitting of Structures
SQVe Structural Summit
BIS has circulated draft documents of IS 13935 (Part 1 & 2) for Earthquake safety assessment and Retrofitting of Structures.
IS 13935 (Part 1): General Provisions
Part 1 contains general principles on earthquake safety assessment applicable to all structures covered in Parts 2 to 11.
In this proposed revision, the following changes have been made: a) Earthquake hazard levels are specified for design of retrofit depending on the age of the structure; b) Levels of assessment of a structure are specified; c) Load combinations to be used are specified when performing structural analysis of the structure for assessment or retrofit; d) Virtues are identified which need be improved by global and local retrofit of the structure; and e) Requirements are specified related to configuration, stiffness, strength and deformability of the structure to qualify retrofit options, etc.
IS 13935 (Part 2): Buildings
The provisions of this standard are applicable to: a) Existing masonry and concrete buildings for assessing their adequacy to resist design earthquake shaking; and retrofitting them to make them earthquake resistant. and b) New masonry and concrete buildings for evaluating their earthquake performance under design earthquake shaking.
The evaluation of structures to examine their sufficiency to resist the earthquake shaking effects is recommended to be performed at five levels, namely: a) Level 0 Basic prioritization, b) Level 1 Field assessment, c) Level 2 Preliminary quantitative (hand-calculation) evaluation, d) Level 3 Basic quantitative (code compliance) evaluation, and e) Level 4 Detailed quantitative (nonlinear) evaluation.
To discuss these important documents, live discussion is organised on 19-NOV-24 at 8:30pm IST. The session will be conducted by Bhavin Shah (Founder & CEO, SQVe Consultants)
Overall aim of session is to increase awareness about IS codes and to encourage engineers for sharing their valuable comments to BIS for improvement in our national standards.
