    Building bye-laws are regulations that set standards for building design and construction to ensure structural safety, health, and public safety. They are implemented by local authorities and based on national standards like the National Building Code. Bye-laws cover parameters like building height, coverage, and setback distances. They help protect buildings from hazards like earthquakes, fires, and floods. However, the current bye-laws need revisions to address modern needs and fully accommodate disabled access. Proper implementation of updated seismic codes is also needed to enhance disaster safety of buildings.

    TRANSFORMING THE NATIONS INFRASTRUCTURE

    The building bye laws are defined as the standards and specification designed to grant minimum safeguards to the workers during construction, to the health and comfort of the user and to provide enough safety to the public in general. The regulation set out the basic requirements such as coverage, height, building bulk to be observed in the design and construction of buildings.

    Building bye laws and regulations are implemented and formulated by local authorities for application with their respective limits. To enforce, frame, implement Building bye-law, Ministry of Urban Development (MOUD) is the nodal agency. National Building Code is the essential basis of Building bye-Laws.

    Planners, architects and engineers refer and follow these bye-laws as it regulates the parameters or standards of a building. Building Bye-laws serves to protect buildings against structural failures, earthquake, fire and other hazards. Building bye-laws & guidelines are useful for Development Authorities, State town Planning Departments, Urban local bodies and various Planning Agencies of the country.

    BUILDING BYE-LAWS
    Model Building Bye-Laws, 2004 (TCPO, Ministry of Urban Development) Bureau of Indian Standards, National Building Code, 2005 CPWD Guidelines and Space Standards for Barrier Free Built Environment For Disabled and Elderly persons,1998 IS:875 - Indian Standard Code on Wind Forces NBC - National Building Code of India. IS:1893 - Indian Standard Code for Earthquake Resistant Design of Buildings

    HAZARDS AND BUILDING BYE-LAWS


    Most casualties during earthquakes & floods are caused by the collapse of structures. In view of this the States in earth quake & flood prone zones have been requested to review, and if necessary, amend their building bye-laws to incorporate the disaster management plans & BIS seismic codes for construction in the concerned zones. The Model Building Bylaws also cover the aspect of ensuring technical implementation of the safety aspects in all new constructions & upgrading the strength of existing structurally vulnerable constructions.

    Practical SOLUTIONS to limitations of BY-LAWS


    Building bye-laws in Delhi do not permit verticality of buildings after a limited height so to cope up with these limitations and restrictions architects came up with new strategy. Maximize ground coverage(to control building cost) Optimize floor area of upper floors(to gain desired height) CIVIC CENTRE(Delhi, India) The tallest building in Delhi, the M.C.D Civic Centre is only 28 floors high. The configuration of the floor space permits use of one consolidated space or partition into smaller modules. The floors are such that accessibility to the circulation core is less than 25 m of walking distance.

    DRAWBACKS
    The guidelines and standards are old and out-dated, they need to be revised , reviewed, analysed and update according to present and future needs. Government of India should make it mandatory and incorporate in Model building bye-laws. The Building Regulations are not able to cover all aspects and building types, while they offer minimum requirements for meeting the needs of some people. For example, guidance might be given on a building so as to make it suitable for wheel, chair users, without offering any guidance as to how the needs of visually impaired people might also be meet. The proper guidelines for disaster prepared infrastructure are not properly implemented in building codes to ensure the safety of buildings and structure from various hazards such as flood, earthquake.

    CONCLUSION
    As the guidelines and laws are outdated, they need to be revised ,reviewed , analysed and updated according to present and future needs. The Building Regulations and Code should cover all aspects and building types, while they full fill requirements for meeting the needs of some people such as physically disable, deaf and visually challenged. Government with necessary engineering staff should establish mechanism for proper implementation of the building codes in all future Govt. constructions, and to ensures the safety of buildings and structures from various hazards(earthquake, flood, fire). Consequences and aspects of infrastructure design and planning on environment should be discussed and analysed keeping in mind the rain water harvesting, green buildings, energy consumption etc.
