Number of Storeys (Clause 4.16) and Building

The document discusses provisions for ductile detailing of reinforced concrete (RC) structures to improve seismic performance. Current Indian codes do not address ductile detailing of steel structures in high seismic regions. While plastic theory for steel design is referenced, a new code for ductile steel frames is needed. The steel design code IS 800 is being revised to include ductility provisions. Additionally, the document recommends removing a reference to IS 4326 from Clause 4.15.2, as ductile detailing provisions were moved to a separate code IS 13920 in 1993.

deals with provisions on ductile detaili deals with provisions on ductile detailing

of RC structures for seismic performance. As of now, IS codes


do not have ductility provisions for detailing of steel
structures in high seismic regions. However, for the sake of
completeness, reference to SP6(6)11 on plastic theory in design
of steel structures has been made in the code which may not
be adequate. Hence, it is important that a code on ductile
steel frames for high seismic regions is developed early. The
steel design code IS 80012 is in the process of revision and it
includes ductility provisions; it is important that the same be
finalised early.
Clause 4.15.2 also mentions IS 4326 : 197613 for
specifications of ductile detailing of RC frames. However,
ductile detailing provisions for RC buildings were dropped
in 1993 edition of IS 4326 since a separate code (IS 13920) was
developed in 1993. Hence, mention of IS 4326 should be
dropped from Clause 4.15.2.
