CODE OF PRACTICE. FORDESIGN LOADS (OTHER THAN E A R T H Q U 4 ~ K E )FOR BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES

PART 1 DEAD LOADS - - UNIT WEIGHTS Of BUILDING MATERIALS ANDSTORED MATERIALS( Secon(f Revision)

o. FOR E W 0 R D0.1 This Indian Standard (Part 1) (SecondRevision) was adopted by the Bureau of IndianStandards on 30 October 1987. after the draftfinalized by the Structural Safet.y SectionalCommittee had been approved by the CivilEngineering Division Council.0.2 A building has to perform many functionssatisfactorily. Amongst these functions are theutility of the building for the i n t e n d ~ d use andoccupancy, structural safety, fire safety; andcompliance with hygienic. sanitation, vt!nti!:Hlonand daylight standards. The design of the building is dependent upon the minimum requirementsprescribed for each of the above functions, Theminimum reqUirements p;::rtaining to the structural safety of buildings are being covered in thiscode by way of laying down minimum designloads \\"hich have to be assumed for dead loads.imposed loads. snow load" and other externalloads. the structure would be r e q u i r ~ d to bear.Strict conformity to loading standards recommended in this code. it is hoped. will not onlyensure the structural safety of the buildings, which are being designed and constructed in thecountry and t ~ h \ ~ r e b y reduce the hazards to lifeand property caused by unsafe structures, butalso eliminate the wastage caused by assumingunnecessarily heavy loadings.0.3 This Indian standard. code of practice wasfirst published in 1957 for the guidance of civilengineers, designers and architects associatedwith planning and design of bUildings. It includedthe provisions for the basic d e ~ i g n loads (deadloads, live loads, \vind loads and'" seismic loads)to be assumi.?d in the design of buildings, In itsfirst revision in 1964, the wind prcs:sure provisionswere modified on the basis of studies of windphenomenon and its e f f ~ c t on structures, und;:rtaken by the special committee in consultationwith the Indian 'Nlet,eoroiogical D e p a r t m ~ n t " Inaddition to this. new clauses on wind loads forbutterfly type structures \vere included; \vindpressure codficients for n.?cted roofs bothcurved and, sloping. were modified; seismiC loadprovisioJ?S were deleted (separate code having

3

been prepared) and metric system of weightsand measurements was adopted,0.3.1 With the increased adoption of the code ia number ot comments were received on p r o ~visions on live load values adopted for differentoccupancies. S i m u l t a n e o u s l y ~ iive load surveyshave been carried out in America and Canada to

arrive at realistic live loads based on act'llaldetermination of loading ( movable and immovable) in different occupancies. Keeping this inview and other developments in the field of windengineering, the Sectional Committee r e s p o n s i b L ~for the preparation of th;;; standard has decidedto prepare the second revision in the folloWingfive parts:Part I DEad !oarlsPart 2 Imposed loadsPart 3 Wind l.oadsPart 4 . Snow loadsPart 5 Special loads and loads combinationsEarthquake load is covered in a separatestandard. namely IS : 1893-1984* which shouldbe considered along with the above loads.

0.4 This standard deals with dead loads to beassumed in the design of buildings and same isgiven in the form of unit weight of materials. Theunit weight of other materials that are likely to bestored in a building are also i n c l u d ~ d for the purpose of load calculations due to stored materials.0.4.1 This standard incorporates IS : 191itpublished in 1967. The unit weight of materialsincorporated in this standard are based oninformation available through published Indianstandards and various other publications.

0.4.2 The v:tlues given in this standard havebeen rounded off in accordance With IS : 2-1960;.~ C i i t e r j a for earthquake re5iistant design of structures( third r(?;isi,?i/ ).!S;.:hedu!c of unit weights of building materials (first

1.1.1 The unit weight/mass of materials thatare likely to be stored in a building are also specified for the purpose of load calculations alongwith angles of internal friction as appropriate_
