Panel discussion on draft standards of IS 1893 | Session 62

Thank you all for actively participating in the live technical discussions related to draft IS 1893 (Part 1) & IS 1893 (Part 2). If you have missed out the sessions, then you may go through the recordings at following link:

Recently, BIS has published draft standard of IS 1893 (Part 1) and IS 1893 (Part 2).

• Draft standard of IS 1893 (Part 1) contains general provisions on earthquake hazard applicable to all structures.
• Draft standard of IS 1893 (Part 2) contains provisions specific to earthquake resistant design of buildings.

Last date for sending the comments to BIS is 25-Jun-2023.

As there are significant changes in the draft standards, we are planning to conduct the multiple sessions for the same. Accordingly, 3rd session is planned on 15-JUN-23 at 8:30PM IST.

Our aim is to highlight the practical difficulties which may arise if the draft documents are published as national standards without any changes. Following experts will join the session:

• Dr. Ashok K. Jain –?Retd. Professor of Civil Engineering, I.I.T. Roorkee
• Er. Rudra Nevatia?– Consulting engineer
• Er. Kamal Parekh?– MD & CEO, Shri Sarjan Technocrats Pvt. Ltd
• Er. Bhavin Shah?– Founder & CEO, SQVe Consultants

Following are some of the topics which will be discussed during the session:

• Comparison of design base shear between draft IS1893 & IS 1893 (Part 1):2016
• EBF is the only allowed frame in seismic zone 5 & 6.
• Comments on elastic response reduction factor (as per table 3)
• Principles of design of structures and correlation with buildings ( Para no. 7 of IS 1893- Part 1)
• Structural plan density (SPD) – Practical difficulties in accommodating shear wall as per SPD, Behaviour of the structure with different values of SPD
• Panel discussion wherein discussion points suggested by the engineers through registration form will be discussed.

We will also attempt to address few of the questions received from participants through live chat.
