Seismic codes are unique to a particular region or
country. They take into account the local seismology,
accepted level of seismic risk, building typologies, and
materials and methods used in construction. Further,
they are indicative of the level of progress a country
has made in the field of earthquake engineering.
The first formal seismic code in India, namely IS
1893, was published in 1962. Today, the Bureau of
Indian Standards (BIS) has the following seismic codes:
IS 1893 (Part I), 2002, Indian Standard Criteria for
Earthquake Resistant Design of Structures (5th Revision)
IS 4326, 1993, Indian Standard Code of Practice for
Earthquake Resistant Design and Construction of
Buildings (2nd Revision)
IS 13827, 1993, Indian Standard Guidelines for Improving
Earthquake Resistance of Earthen Buildings
IS 13828, 1993, Indian Standard Guidelines for Improving
Earthquake Resistance of Low Strength Masonry
Buildings
IS 13920, 1993, Indian Standard Code of Practice for
Ductile Detailing of Reinforced Concrete Structures
IS 13935, 1993, Indian Standard Guidelines for Repair and
Seismic Strengthening of Buildings
