Introduction
Centuries ago, a large number of astonishing structures such as Kutub Minar, Taj Mahal and so many incredible palaces and temples were built in stone masonry in various parts of the country. Some of these temples have very tall shikhars with amazing carvings. They have so many delicate columns and non-structural elements. They are standing even today without any damage due to past earthquakes. However, is it possible to build similar stone masonry structures today? NO. IS 1893 (Part 1) will not let you. It has banned such structures explicitly in seismic zone III, IV and V.
The question arises who is wrong? Our ancestors or the modern day IS 1893 (Part 1) code? (Extract from paper of Dr. Ashok K. Jain)
The original paper was presented by Dr. Ashok K. Jain in the meeting of IAStructE on 11th May, 2017. Since then, a number of practicing engineers have made requests to discuss the various issues in more detail. In 2020, BIS has issued amendment no. 2 which is quite exhaustive. Recently, he has modified the document based on request of the practicing engineers.
In the upcoming live technical discussion, Dr. Ashok K. Jain will share his critical review about IS 1893 (Part 1) : 2016.
