Revision of Indian Standard Codes of Civil Engineering – Prospects and Necessity

It is not only necessary but rather indispensable for civil engineers and professionals engaged in civil engineering practices to have a practical understanding of the modification and changes in the Indian standard codes of practice taking place time to time by the Bureau of Indian Standards, New Delhi. Major changes such as Limit State Design method, change in seismic zones, new load considerations, mass irregularities, entrant corners, serviceability approach, dynamic loading analysis, etc. are to be followed so that safe structures with long serviceability can be accomplished. The dynamics of change and regular adjustment in IS codes cannot be ignored if at all the structures built have to stand the test of time against ravages created under the force of threats and hazards.
