Disclosure to Promote the Right To Information
Whereas the Parliament of India has set out to provide a practical regime of right to
information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities,
in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority,
and whereas the attached publication of the Bureau of Indian Standards is of particular interest
to the public, particularly disadvantaged communities and those engaged in the pursuit of
education and knowledge, the attached public safety standard is made available to promote the
timely dissemination of this information in an accurate manner to the public.

o. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard (Part I) (Second
Revision) was adopted by the E rreau of Indian
been prepared) and metric system of weights
and measurements was adopted.
Standards on 30 October 1987, after the draft
finalized by the Structural Safety Sectional
Committee had been approved by the Civil
Engineering Division Council.
0.3.1 With the increased adoption of the code,
a number of comments were received on provisions on live load values adopted for different
occupancies. Simultaneously, live load surveys
have been carried out in America and Canada to
arrive at realistic live loads based on actual
determination of loading ( movable and immovable) in different occupancies. Keeping this in
view and other developments in the field of wind
engineering, the Sectional Committee responsible
for the preparation of the standard has decided
to prepare the second revision in the following
five parts:
0.2 A building has to perform many functions
satisfactorily. Amongst these functions are the
utility of the building for the intended use and
occupancy. structural safety, fire safety; and
compliance- with hygienic. sanitation, ventilation
and daylight standards. The design of the building is dependent upon the minimum requirements
prescribed for each of the above functions. The
minimum requirements pertaining to the structural safety of buildings are being covered in this
code by way of laying down minimum design
loads which have to be assumed for dead loads,
imposed loads, snow loads and other external
loads, the structure would be required to bear.
Strict conformity to loading standards recommended in this code, it is hoped. will not only
ensure the structural safety of the buildings
which are being designed and constructed in the
country and thereby reduce the hazards to life
and property caused by unsafe structures, but
also eliminate the wastage caused by assuming
unnecessarily heavy loadings.

Dead loads

Snow loads
Special loads and loads combinations
Earthquake load is covered in a separate
standard. namely IS: 1893·1984· which should
be considered along with the above loads.
0.4 This standard deals with dead loads to be
assumed in the design of buildings and same is
given in the-form of unit weight of materials. The
unit weight of other materials that are likely to be
stored in a building are also included for the purpose of load calculations due to stored materials,
0.3 This Indian standard code of practice was
first published in 1957 for the guidance of civil
engineers, designers and architects associated
with planning and design of buildings. It included
the provisions for the basic design loads (dead
loads, live loads, wind loads and seismic loads)
to be assumed in the design of buildings. In its
first revision in 1964, the wind pressure provisions
were modified on the basis of studies of wind
phenomenon and its effect on structures, undertaken by the special committee in consultation
with the Indian Meteorological Department. In
addition to this, new clauses on wind loads for
butterfly type structures were included; wind
pressure coefficients for sheeted roofs both
curved and sloping, were modified; seismic load
provisions were deleted (separate code having
0.4.1 This 'standard incorporates IS: 1911t
published in 1967. The unit weight of materials
incorporated in this standard are based on
information available through published Indian
standards and various other publications.
0.4.2 The values given in this standard have
been rounded off in accordance with IS : 2-1960:.
