Ductile detailing for steel structures | Draft IS code
For steel structures, earthquake resistant design related specifications / details are mentioned in section 12 of IS 800 : 2007. Also, there are few modifications made in NBC 2016 with respect to earthquake resistant design provisions for steel structures.
Recently, BIS has published a draft code for earthquake resistant design and detailing of steel buildings, similar to IS 13920 for RCC structures.
?Title of the document : Earthquake Resistant Design and Detailing of Steel Buildings
Last date for comments:?23-JUNE-2022
?Link for downloading the document:?https://www.services.bis.gov.in/php/BIS_2.0/dgdashboard/draft/darftdetailcomm/210/3/CED-%2039
This document covers the requirements for designing and detailing of steel structures to resist the earthquake load. It includes the detailing requirements for SMRF, SCBF & EBF systems. It is going to be very important standard for earthquake resistant design of steel structures.
We are planning to organise live discussion for the document shortly. The schedule for live discussion will be announced very soon. Meanwhile, please go through the document and you may share the discussion points at email address : earthquake@sqveconsultants.com
Let's work together for improvement in our IS codes...
An unique online course STEEL-STR-001 for design of steel structures will commence from 26th May, 2022. For more details, please refer link: https://sqveconsultants.com/steel-str-001

In my opinion you can refer AISC code commentary as the IS code provisions are copied from there.
Congratulations! Please keep it after 14th June so that I can also attend.
