TO
IS 1893 (PART 4) : 2015 CRITERIA FOR EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT
DESIGN OF STRUCTURES
(First Revision)
(Second cover page, foreword, para 3) — Insert the following new para at the end:
‘Part 1 contains general provisions that are applicable to all types of structures, and provisions that are specific
to buildings only. Unless stated otherwise, the provisions in Part 2 to Part 5 shall be read in conjunction with
the general provisions (clauses 1 to 6) of IS 1893 (Part 1).’
‘4.19 Soft Storey — It is one in which the lateral stiffness is less than that in the storey above. The storey lateral
stiffness is the total stiffness of all seismic force resisting elements resisting lateral earthquake shaking effects in
the considered direction.’
‘4.24 Weak Storey — It is one in which the storey lateral strength [cumulative design shear strength of all
structural members other than that of unreinforced masonry (URM) infills] is less than that in the storey above.
The storey lateral strength is the total strength of all seismic force resisting elements sharing the lateral storey
shear in the considered direction.’
(Page 6, clause 6.1.1, para 2, first sentence) — Substitute the following for the existing:
‘Earthquake generated vertical inertia forces are to be considered in design, wherever appropriate.’
[Page 7, clause 7.3.1, expression for Ah)] — Substitute the following for the existing:
S I
Ah = a
g ss R
Sa
where is the site-specific spectral acceleration coefficient value denoting peak response acceleration
g
ss
corresponding to fundamental natural time period of structure.

(Page 16, clause 14.2, Note 1, line 3) — Substitute ‘δ’ for ‘d’.
(Page 17, clause 16, para 3, expression of Ah) — Substitute the following for the existing:
(Page 18, clause 17.2, fourth sentence) – Substitute the following for the existing:
‘Detailed dynamic analysis shall be required where analysis is based on site-specific response spectrum.’
(Page 20, Annex A, Table 15, title) — Substitute ‘Spectral Acceleration Coefficient Sa/g’ for ‘Zone
Factor Z’.
(Page 20, Annex A, Table 15) — Insert the following note at the end:
‘NOTE — At time t = 0, the multiplying factor need not be applied, and the value is specified only for suitable interpolation between
time t = 0 and t = 0.1
(Page 21, Annex B, figure) — Substitute ‘To be used for fundamental mode (for fundamental natural
period)’ for ‘To be used for the first mode’.
