    FOREWORD

    This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by theEarthquake Engineering Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering DivisionCouncil.Himalayan-Naga Lushai region, Indo-Gangetic Plain, Western India and Kutch and Kathiawar regionsare geologically unstable parts of the country and some devastating earthquakes of the world have occurredthere. A major part of the peninsular India, has also been visited by moderate earthquakes, but thesewere relatively few in number and had considerably lesser intensity. It has been a long felt need torationalize the earthquake resistant design and construction of structures taking into account seismic datafrom studies of these Indian earthquakes, particularly in view of the heavy construction programme atpresent all over the country. It is to serve this purpose that IS 1893 : 1984 Criteria for earthquake resis-tant design of structures was prepared. It lays down the seismic zones, the basic seismic coefficients andother factors and criteria for various structures. As an adjunct to IS 1893, IS 4326 Code of practice forearthquake resistant design and construction of buildings was prepared in 1967 and revised in 1976. Thiscontained some recommendations for low strength brick and stone buildings. Earthquake damages to suchbuildings in Himachal Pradesh, North Bihar and Hill districts of Uttar Pradesh emphasized the need toexpand these provisions. In order to assign the subject the importance it ~demanded in the context ofprevalence of such buildings in the seismic zones It was therefore considered appropriate to issue aseparate standard on the subject. It is naturally tied to IS 1893 in view of the seismic zgnes and coeffici-ents. It will be useful to read this standard along with IS 4326. .The Sectional Committee responsible for the preparation of this standard has taken into consideration theviews of all who are interested in this field and has related the standard to the prevailing practices in thecountry, Due weightage has also been given to the need for international co-ordination among thestandards and practices prevailing in different countries of the world.The Committee responsible-for the preparation of this standard is given at Annex A.In the preparation of this standard, the publication Guidelines for earthquake resistant non-engineeredconstruction, published by the International Association for Earthquake Engineering, Tokyo, October1986, has been freely referred to.

    GUIDELINES1 SCOPE1.1 This standard covers the special features ofdesign and construction for improving earthquakeresistance of buildings of low-strength masonry.1.1.1 The provisions of this standard are appli-cable in seismic zones III to V. No specialprovisions are considered necessary for buildingsin seismic zones I and II.1.1,2 The various provisions of IS 4326 : 1993regarding general principles, special constructionfeatures, types of construction, categories ofbuildings and masonry construction with rect-angular masonry units are generally applicable tothe masonry buildings of low strength dealt within thin standard. There are however certainrestrictions, exceptions and additional detailswhich are specifically included herein. For com-pleteness however all necessary portions arerepeated here.

    NOTE -Attention is hereby drawn to the fact thatlow-strength masonry as dealt with herein will neitherqualify as engineered construction nor totally freefrom collapse in the severe seismic intensities VIII orIX. However, inclusion of special seismic design andconstruction features provided herein will raise thf,irseismic resistance appreciably, reducing greatly thechances of collapse even in such seismic intencities.

    IS 13828 : 19934.1 LightnessSince the earthquake force is a function of mass,the building should be as light as possible consis-tent with structural safety and functionalrequirements. Roofs and upper storeys of buildingsin particular should be designed as light aspossible.4.2 Continuity of Construction4.2.1 As far as possible, all parts of the buildingshould be tied together in such a manner thatthe building acts as one unit.4.2.2 For integral action of building, roof andfloor slabs should be continuous throughout asfar as possible.4.2.3 Additions and alterations to the structuresshould be accompanied by the provision ofpositive measures to establish continuity betweenthe existing and the new construction.4.3 Projecting and Suspended Parts4.3.1 Projecting parts should be avoided as far aspossible. If the projectmg parts cannot be avoid-ed, they should be properly reinforced and firmlytied to the main structure and their design shouldbe in accordance with IS 1893 : 1981.

    NOTE - In cases where stability of projecting partsagainst overturning is achieved by counterweight in theform of wall, slab etc, the overturnmg should bechecked by increasing the weight of the projectingpart and decreasing the weight of stabilizing masssimultaneously in accordance with the vertical seismiccoefficient specified in 4.4.2 of IS 1893 : 1984.4.3.2 Ceiling plaster should preferably be avoid-ed. When it is unavoidable, the plaster should beas thin as possible.4.3.3 Suspended ceiling should be avoided as faras possible. Where provided, they should be lightand adrquately framed and secured.4.4 Shape of BuildingIn order to minimize torsion, the building shouldhave a simple rectangular plan and be sym-metrical both with respect to mass and rigidityso that the centres of mass and rigidity of thebuilding coincide with each other. It will bedesirable to use separate blocks of rectangularshape particularly in seismic zones V and IV.

    NOTE - For small buildings, minor asymmetry inplan and elevation may be ignored. Designing suchbuildings against torsion may bq difficult anduncertain.4.5 Fire SafetyFire frequently follows an earthquake and there-fore buildings should be constructed to makethem fire resistant in accordance with the pro-visions of relevant Indian Standards for firesafety.

    .5 SPECIAL CONSTRUCTION FEATURES5.1 Foundations5.1.1 For the design of foundations, the provisionsof IS 1901 : 1986 in conjunction withIS 1893 : 1981 shall generally be followed.5.1.2 The subgrade below the entire area ot thebuilding should preferably be of the same type ofthe soil. Wherever this is not possible, the build-ings should preferably be separated into units andthen the units should be located separately.5.1.3 Loose fine sand soft silt and expansiveclays should be avoided. If unavoidable thefollowing measures may be taken to improve thesoil on which the foundation of the building mayrest:

    a) Sand piling/under reamed piling/stonecolumns, etc.b) Soil stabilization.

    5.2 Roofs and Floors5.2.1 Flat roof or floor should not preferably bemade of tiles or ordinary bricks supported onsteel, timber or reinforced concrete joists, northey shall be of a type which in the event of anearthquake is likely to be loosened and parts orall of which may fall. If this type of constructioncannot be avoided, the joists should be blockedat ends and bridged at intervals such that theirspacing is not altered during an earthquake.5.2.1.1 For pitched roofs, corrugated iron orasbestos sheets should be used in preference tocountry, Allahabad or Mangalore tiles or otherloose roofing units. All roofing materials shall beproperly tied to the supporting members. Heavyroofing materials should generally be avoided.5.2.2 Pent Roofs5.2.2.1 All roof trusses should be supported onand fixed to timber band reinforced concreteband or reinforced brick band. The holdingdown bolts should have adequate length asrequired for earthquake and wind forces.Where a trussed roof adjoins a masonry gable,the ends of the purlins should be carried on andsecured to a plate or bearer which should beadequately bolted to timber reinforced concreteor reinforced brick band at the top of gable endmasonry.5.2.2.2 At tie level, all the trusses and the gableend should be provided with diagonal braces inplan so as to transmit the lateral shear due toearthquake force to the gable walls acting asshear walls.

    IS 13828: 19935.2.3 Jack ArchesJack arched roofs or floors where used should beprovided with mild steel ties in _a11 spans along-with diagonal braces in plan to ensure diaphragmactions.5.3 Staircases5.3.1 The interconnection of the stairs with theadjacent floors should be appropriately treated byproviding sliding joints at the stairs to eliminatetheir bracing effect on the floors. Ladders maybe made fixed at one end and freely resting atthe other.5.3.2 Bd t- in StaircaseWhen stairs are built monolithically with floors,they can be protected against damage by provid-ing rigid walls at the stair opening. The wallsenclosing the staircase should extend throughthe entire height of the stairs and to the buildingfoundations.6 BOX TYPE CONSTRUCTION-This type of construction consists of prefabricatedor in-s& masonry wall along with both the axesof the building. The walls support vertical loadsand also act as shear walls for horizontal loadsacting in any direction. All traditional masonryconstruction falls under this category. In pre-fabricated wall construction, attention should bepaid to tht connections between wall panels sothat transfer of shear between them is ensured.7 CATEGORIES OF BUILDINGSFor the purpose of specifying the earthquakeresisting features, the buildings, have beencategorised in five categories A to E, as given inTable 1, based on the value of CC~,given by:

    Qh = Q&where

    ah = design seismic coefficient for thebuilding,ug = basic seismic coefficient for the seismic

    zone in which the building is located( see Table 2 of IS 1893 : 1984 ),importance factor applicable to thebuilding ( see 3.4.2.3 of IS 1893 : 1984 ),andsoil foundation factor ( see 3.4.2.3 andTable 3 of IS 1893 : 1984 ).

    8 LOW STRENGTH MASONRYCONSTRUCTION8.1 General

    B.l.l Two types of construction are includedherein, namely:a>b)

    Brick construction using weak mortar,andRandom rubble and half-dressed stonemasonry construction using different mor-tars such as clay mud lime-sand andcement sand.Table 1 Building Categories forEarthquake Resisting Features

    ( Clause 7 )Category

    D 008 to less than 012E More than 0.12NOTE - Low-strength masonry shall not be used forcategory E.

    8.1.2 These constructions should not be permittedfor important buildings with f >, 1.5 and shouldpreferably be avoided for bullding category D( see Table 1 ).B.1.3 It will be useful to provide damp-proofcourse at plinth level to stop the rise of porewater into the superstructure.8.1.4 Precautions should be taken to keep therain water away from soaking into the wall sothat the mortar is not softened due to wetness.An effective way is to take out roof projectionsbeyond the walls by about 500 mm.8.1.5 Use of a water-proof plaster on outside faceof walls will enhance the life of the building andmaintain its strength at the time of earthquakeas well.8.1.6 Ignoring tensile strength, free standingwalls should be checked against overturningunder the action of design seismic coefficient, ah,allowing for a factor of safety of 1 5.8.2 Bridkwork in Weak Mortars8.2.1 The fired bricks should have a compressivestrength not less than 3.5 MPa. Strength ofbricks and wall thickness should he selected forthe total building height.8.2.2 The mortar should be lime-sand ( 1 : 3 )or clay mud of good quality. Where horizontalsteel is used between courses, cement-sand mortar( 1 : 3 ) should he used with thickness so as tocover the steel with 6 mm mortar above andbelow it. Where vertical steel is used, thesurrounding brickwork of 1 x 1 or l& x 13

    IS 13828 : I993brick size depending on wall thickness shouldpreferably be built using 1 : 6 cement-sandmortar.8.2.3 The minimum wall thickness shall be onebrick in one storey construction and one brick intop storey and 14 brick in bottom storeys ofup to three storey construction. It should also notbe less than l/16 of the length of wall betweentwo consecutive perpendicular walls.8.2.4 The height of the building shall be restrict-ed to the following, where each storey heightshall not exceed 3.0 m:

    For Categories A, B and C - three storeyswith flat roof;and twostoreys plu;atticpitched roof.

    For Category D - two storeyswith flat roof;and one sto-rey plus atticfor pitchedroof.8.2.5 Special Bond in Brick Wall sFor achieving fuli strength of masonry, the usualbonds specified for masonry should be followedso that the vertical joints are broken properly fromcourse to course. To obtain full bond between per-pendicular walls, it is necessary to make a sloping( stepped ) joint by making the corners first to aheight of 600 mm and then building the wall inbetween them. Otherwise the toothed joint shouldbe made in both the walls, alternately in lifts ofabout 450 mm ( see Fig. 1 ).

    8.3 Stone Masonry ( Random Rubble orHalf-Dressed )8.3.1 The construction ofstone masonry of ran-dom rubble or dressed stone type should generallyfollow IS 1597 ( Part 1 ) : 1967.8.3.2 The mortar should bc cement-sand ( 1 : 6 ),lime-sand ( 1 : 3 ) or clay mud of good quality.3.3.3 The wall thickness t should not be largerthan 450 mm. Preferably it should be about350 mm, and the stones on the inner and outerwythes should be interlocked with each other.

    NOTE - If the two wthes are not interlocked, theytend to delaminate during ground shaking bulge apait( see Fig. 2 ) and bwkle separately under vertical loadleading to complete collapse of the wall and thebuilding.8.3.4 The masonry should preferably be broughtto courses at not more than 600 mm lift.8.3.5 Through stones at full length equal towall thickness should be used in every 600 mmlift at not more than 1.2 m apart horizontally. Iffull length stones are not available, stones inpairs each of about 314 of the wall thickness maybe used in place of one full length stone so as toprovide an overlap betlveen them ( see Fig. 3 ).8.3.6 In place of (through stones, bondingelements of steel bars 8 to 10 mm dia~bent toS-shape or as hooked links may be used with acover of 25 mm from each face of the wall ( seeFig. 3 ). Alternatively, wood ~bars o38 mm x 38 mm cross section or concrete barsof 50 mm x 50 mm section with an 8 mm diarod placed centrally may be used in place o*through stones. The wood should be welltreated witn preservative so that it is durableagainst weathering and insect action.

Formild-steel plain bars, use equivalent diameters.2 The vertical bars should be covered with concrete of Ml5 grade or with mortar 1 : 3 ( cement-sand ) in suitablycreated pockets around the bars ( see Fig. 10 & 11 ). This will ensure their safety from corrosion and good bondwith masonry.3 For category B two storey stone masonry buildings, sfe note under Table 3.
