Q: In the design of RCC structures, the earth quake forces shall be calculated in accordance with:
  • A. IS 456
  • B. IS 875
  • C. IS 800
  • D. IS 1893
Correct Answer: Option D - Important Indian standard code– IS : 1893 : 2016, Earthquake forces calculated of RCC structures. (i) IS 875 Part-I Dead loads (ii) IS 875 Part-II Imposed loads (iii) IS 875 Part-III wind loads (iv) IS 875 Part-IV snow load (v) IS : 875 Part-V special loads and load combination • IS : 800 : 2007– Code of practice for general construction in steel. • IS 456 : 2000 Code of practice for plain and reinforcement concrete
