FOREWORD
‘This Indian Standard (Third Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized
by the Structural Rngineering and Structural Sections Sectional Commitiee had been approved by the Civil
Engineering Division Council
‘The steel economy programme was initiated by erstwhile Indian Standards Institution in the year 1950 with the
objective of achieving economy in the use of structural steel by establishing rational, efficient and optimum
standards for structural steel produets and their use. IS 800 : 1956 was the first in the series of Indian Standards,
brought out upder this programme, The standard was revised in 1962 and subsequently in 1984, incorporating,
certain very important changes.
IS 800 is the basic Code for general construction in steel structures and is the prime document for any structural
design and has influence on many other codes governing the design of other speciat steel structures, such es
towers, bridges, silos, chimneys, etc. Realising the necessity to update the standard to the state ofthe art ofthe
steel construction technology and economy, the current revision of the standard was undertaken. Consideration
has been given to the developments taking place in the country and abroad, and necessary modifications and
additions have been incorporated to make the standard more useful
‘The revised standard will enhance the confidence of designers, engineers, contractors, technical institutions,
professional bodies and the industry and will open @ new era in safe and economic construction in stee!.
In this revision the following major modifications have been effected:
2) In view of the development and production of new varieties of medium and high tensile structural steels,
in the country, the scope of the standard has been modified permitting the use of any variety of structural
steel provided the relevant provisions of the standard are satisfied.
'b) The standard has made reference tothe Indian Standards now available for rivets; bolts and other fasteners,
©) The standard is based on limit state method, reflecting the latest developments and the state of the art,
‘The revision of the standard was based on a review carried out and the proposals framed by Indian Institute of
‘Technology Madras (IIT Madras). The project was supported by Institute of Steel Development and Growth
NSDAG) Kolkata, There has been considerable contribution from INSDAG and IIT Madras, with assistance
from a number of academic, research, design and contracting institutes/organizations, in the preparation of the
revised standard,
In the formulation of this standard the following publications have also been considered:
AS-4100-1998 Steel structures (second edition), Standards Australia (Standards Association of Australia),
‘Homebush, NSW 2140.
BS-5950-2000 Structural use of steelwork in buildings:
Part 1 Code of practice for design in simple and contiauous constriction: Hot rolled sections, British
Standards Institution, London.
CANICSA- Limit states design of steel structures, Canadian Standards Association, Rexdale (Toronto),
S16.1-94 Ontario, Canada M9W IR3,
ENV 1993-1-1: Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures:
1992 Part 1-1 General rules and rules for buildings
‘The composition of the Committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is given in Annex J.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard, is complied with, the final value,
observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, ‘shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS 2: 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)’. The number of significant places retained in the
rounded off value shoutd be the same as that of the specified value in this standard,Is 800 : 2007

control, adequate detailing and good supervision are
equally important.
3.1.2.2 Where the limit states method cannot be
‘conveniently adopted; the working stress design (see
Seetion 11) may be used.
33 Design Process
Structural design, including design for durability,
construction and use should be considered as a whole.
The realization of design objectives requires
compliance with clearly defined standards for
materials, fabrication, erection and in-service
maintenance.
3.2 Loads and Forees
3.2.1 For the purpose of designing any element,
member or @ structure, the following loads (actions)
and their effects shall be taken into account, where
applicable, with partial safety factors and combinations
(see 8.33)
a) Dead loads;
1b) Imposed loads (live load, crane load, snow
load, dust load, wave load, earth pressures,
ete);
©) Wind loads;
4) Barthquake loads;
©) Erection loads;
Accidental loads such as those duc to blast,
impact of vehicles, etc; and
8) Secondary effects due to contraction or
expansion resulting from temperature
changes, differential settlements of the
structure as whole or of its components,
cocentric connections, rigidity of joints
differing from design assumptions.
3.2.1.1 Dead loads should be assumed in design as
specified in 15 875 (Part).
3.2.1.2 Imposed lons for different types of occupancy
and function of structures shall be taken as
recommended in 18 875 (Part 2) Imposed loud arising18.800: 2007
from equipment, such as cranes and machines should
be assumed in design as per manufactorers/suppliers
data (see 3.8.4). Snow load shall be taken as per
15 875 (Part 4).
3.2.1.3 Wind loads on structures shall be taken as per
the recommendations of IS 875 (Pact 3).
3.2.1.4 Earthquake loads shall be assumed as per the
recommendations of IS 1893 (Part 1).
3.2.1.5 The erection loads and temperature effects shall
be considered as specified in 3.3 and 3.4 respectively.
3.3 Erection Loads
All loads required to be carried by the structure or any
part of it due to storage or positioning of construction
‘material and erection equipment, including all loads
«due to operation of such equipment shall be considered
as erection loads. Proper provision shall be made,
including temporary bracings, to take care ofall stresses
developed during erection, Dead load, wind load and
also such parts of the live load as would be imposec
‘on the structure during the period of etection shall be
taken as acting together with the erection loads. The
structure as a whole and all parts of the structure in
conjunction with the temporary bracings shall be
‘capable of sustaining these loads during erection.
3.4 Temperature Bitects
3.4.1 Expansion and contraction due to changes in
temperature of the members and elements ofa structure
shall be considered and adequate provision made for
such effect.
3.4.2 The temperature range varies for different
localities and under different diurnal and seasonal
conditions. The absolute maximum and minimum
temperatures, which may be expected in different
localities of the country, may be obtained from the
Indian Metrological Department and used in assessing
the maximura variations of temperature for which
provision for expansion and contraction has to be made
in the structure,
3.4.3 The range of variation in temperature of the
building materials may be appreciably greater or lesser
than the variation of air temperature and is influenced
by the condition of exposure and the rate at witich the
materials composing the structure absor’ or radiate
hheat. This difference in temperature variations of the
‘material and air shall be given due consideration. The
effect of differential temperature within an element or
member, due to part exposure to direct sunlight shall,
also be considered,
3.4.4 The co-efficient of thermal expansion for steel is
as given in 2.2.4.1(e).

3.5 Load Combinations
3.5.1 Load combinations for design purposes shall be
those that produce maximum forces and effecss and
consequently maximum stcesses and deformations.
The following combination of loads with appropriate
partial safety factors (see Table 4) may be considered.
8) Dead load + imposed load,
») Dead load + imposed load + wind or
carthqueke load,
©) Dead load + wind or earthquake load, and
4) Dead load + erection load.
NOTE — tothe cate fsrasuresseporting eens, imposed

3.5.2 Wind load and earthquake loads shall not be
assumed to act simultaneously. The effect ofeach shall
be considered separately.
3.5.3 The effect of cranes to be considered under
imposed loads shall include the vertical toads,
eccentricity effects induced by the vertical loads,
impact factors, lateral (surge) and longitudinal
(horizontal) thrusts, not acting simultaneously, across
and along the crane rail, respectively [see 1S 875
(Part 2)
3.54 The crane loads and their combinations to be
considered shall be as indicated by the customer. In
the absence of any specific indications, the load
combinations shall be in accordance with the
provisions in IS 875 (Part 2) or as given below:
8) Vertical loads with full impact from one
-Joaded crane or two cranes in case of tandem
‘operation, together with vertical lozdls without
‘impact from as many loaded cranes as may
be positioned for maximum effect, along with
maximum horizontal thnst. from one crane
‘only or two in case of tandem operation;
b) Loads as specified ‘in 3.5.4(a), subject to
cranes in maximum of any two bays of the
building cross-section shall be considered for
multi-bay multi-crane gantries;
©) The longitudinal thrust on a crane track rail
shall be considered for a maximum of two
loaded cranes on the track; and
6) Lateral thrust (surge) and longitudinal thrust
acting across and along the crane rail
respectively, shall be assumed not to act
simultaneously. The effect ofeach force, shall
however be investigated separately,
3.5.5 While investigating the effect of earthquake
forces, the resulting effect from dead loads of all cranes
parked in each bay, positioned to cause maximum effect
shall be considered,43.5.6 The crane runway gitders supporting bumpers
Shall be checked for bumper impact loads also, as
specified by the manufacturers.
3,5:7 Siresses developed due to secondary effects such
as handling; erection, temperature and settlement of
foundations, if any, shall be appropriately added to the
stresses calculated from the combination of loads stated
in 3.8.1, with appropriate partial safety factors.
3.6 Geometrical Properties
36.1 General
‘The geometrical propertics of the gross and the
effective cross-sections of a member or part thereof,
shall be calculated on the following basis:
1) The properties of the gross cross-section shall
be calculated from the specified size of the
member or part thereof or read from
appropriate table.
b) The properties of the effective cross-section
shall be calculated by dedueting from the area
‘of the gross cross-section, the following:
1) The sectional area in excess of effective
plate width, in case of slender sections
(see 3.7.2).
2) Thesectional areas of allholes in the section
except for parts in compression. In case of
punched holes, hole size 2 num in excess
of the actual diameter may be deducted,
3.7 Classification of Cross-Sections
3.7 Plate elements of a cross-section may buckle
locally due to compressive stresses. The local bucking
can be avoided before the limit state is achieved by
limiting the width to thickness ratio of each element
Cf a cross-section subjected to compression due to axial
force, moment or shear,
3.7.4.4 When plastic analysis is used, the members Shall
be capable of forming plastic hinges with sufficient
rotation capacity (ductility) without local buckling, to
‘enable the redistribution of bending moment required
before formation of the feilure mechanism.
3.7.1.2 When elastic analysis is used, the member shall
be capable of developing the yield stress under
compression without local buckling,
3.7.2 On basis of the above, four classes of sections
are defined as follows:
8) Class 1 (Plastic) — Cross-sections, which
can develop plastic hinges and have the
rotation capacity required for failure of the
structure by formation of plastic mechanism.
‘The width to thickness ratio of plate elements
a7
15 800: 2007
shall be less than that specified under Class 1
(Plastic), in Table 2.
b) Class 2 (Compact) — Cross-sections, which
‘can develop plastic moment of resistance, but
have inadequate plastic hinge rotation
capacity for formation of plastic mechanism,
due to local buckling. The width to thickness
ratio of plate elements shall be less than that
specified under Class 2 (Compact), but greater
than that specified under Class | (Plastic), in
Table 2.
©) Class 3 (Semi-compact) — Cross-sections,
in which the extreme fiber in compression can
reach yield stress, but cannot develop the
plastic moment of resistance, dve to local
buckling. The width to thickness ratio of plate
clerncats shall be less than thet specified under
Class 3 (Semi-compact),but greater than that
specified under Class 2 (Compact), in Teble 2.
@) Class 4 (Slender) — Cross-sections in which
the elements buekle locally even before
reaching yield stress. The width o thickness
ratio of plate elements shall be greater than
that specified under Class 3 (Semi-compact),
in Table 2. In such cases, the effective sections
for design shall be calculated either by
following the provisions of IS 801 to account
for the post-local-buckling strength or by
deducting width of the compression plate
clement in excess of the semi-compactsection
limit.
When different cloments of a cross-section fall under
different classes, the section shall be classified as
governed by the most critical element.
‘The maximum valve of limiting width to thickness
ratios of elements for different classifications of
sections are given in Table 2.
3.7.3 Types of Elements
4) Internal elements — These are elements
attached along both longitudinal edges to
other elements or to longitudinal stiffeners
connected at suitable intervals to transverse
stiffeners, for example, web of I-section and
flanges and web of box section.
b) Ouside elements or outstands ~ These are
cclements attached along only one of the
longitudinal edges to an adjacent element, the
other edge being free to displace outof plane,
for example flange overhang of an I-section,
stem of section and legs of an angle section.
©) , Tapered elements — These may be treated as
flat elements having average thickness as
defined in SP 6 (Part 1).1s 800: 2007

3.9 Resistance to Horizontal Forces
3.9, In designing the stecl frame work of a building,
provision shall be made (by adequate moment
Connections or by a system of bracing) to effectively
transmit to the foundations all the horizontal forees,
giving due allowance for the stiffening effect of the
walls and floors, where applicable.
3.9.2 When the walls, or walls and floors and/or roofs
20
are capable of effectively transmitting all the horizontal
forces directly to the foundations, the structural steel
framework may be designed without considering the
effect of wind or earthquake,
3.9.3 Wind and earthquake forces are reversible and
therefore call for rigidity and strength under force
reversal in both longitudinal and transverse directions.
‘To resist torsional effects of wind and earthquake
forces, bracings in plan should be provided and
integrally connected with the longitudinal and
transverse bracings, to impart adequate torsional
resistance to the structure
3.9.3.1 In shed type steel mill buildings, adequate
bracings shall be provided to transfer the wind or
earthquake loads from their points of action to the
appropriate supporting members, Where the
connections to the interior columns or frames are
designed such that the wind or earthquake loads will
not be transferred to the interior columns, the
‘exterior columns or frames shall be designed to resist
the total wind or earthquake loads. Where the
connections to the interior columns and frames are
designed such that the wind or earthquake effects
are transferred to the interior columns also, and
where adequate rigid diaphragm action can be
mobilized as in the case of the cast-in place RC slab,
both exterior and interior columns and frames may
be designed on the assumption that the wind or
‘earthquake load is divided among them in proportion
to their relative stiffaess. Columns also should be
designed to withstand the net uplifting effect caused
by excessive wind or earthquake. Additional axial
forces arising in adjacent columns due tothe vertical
component of bracings or due to frame action shall
also be accounted for.
3.9.3.2 Earthquake forces are proportional to the
seismic mass as defined in IS 1893, Earthquake forces
should be applied at the centre of gravity of all such
‘components of mass and their transfer to the foundation
should be ensured. Other construction details,
stipulated in IS 4326 should also be Followed.
3.9.3.3 In buildings where high-speed travelling cranes
‘are supported or where a building or structure is,
otherwise subjected to vibration or sway, triangulated
bracing or rigid portal systems shall be provided 0
reduce the vibration or sway to an acceptable

3.9.4 Foundations
‘The foundations of a building or other structures shall
bbe designed to provide the rigidity and strength that
hhas been assumed in the analysis and design of the
superstructure,3.9.8 Eccentrically Placed Loads
Where a wall, or othet gravity load, is placed
ceccentrically upon the flange of a supporting steel
beam, the beam and its connections shall be designed
for torsion, unless the beam is restrained laterally in
such a way as to prevent the twisting of the beam,
3.10 Expansion Joints
43.1041 In view ofthe large number of fzctors involved
jn deciding the location, spacing and nature of
expansion joints, the decision regarding provision of
expansion joints shall be left to the discretion of the
designer,
3.20.2 Structures in which marked changes in plan
‘dimensions take place abruptly, shall be provided with
expansion joints at the section where such changes
‘oceut. Expansion joints shall be so provided that the
necessary movement occurs with minimum resistance
int. The gap at the expansion joint should be
such thats
a) It accommodates the expected expansion/
contraction due to seasonal and durinal
variation of temperature, and
It avoids pounding of adjacent units under
‘earthquake, The structure adjacent tothe joint
should preferably be supported on separate
columns but not necessarily on separate
foundations,
3.10.3 The details as to the length of astructure where
expansion jéints have to be provided may be
determined after taking into consideration various
factors such as temperature, exposure to weather and
structural design. The provisions in 3.10.3.1103.10.33

METHODS OF STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
4.1 Methods of Determining Action Effects
4.11 General
For the purpose of complying with the requirements
of the limit states of stability, strength and serviceability
specified in Section 5, effects of design actions on @
structure and its members and connections, shall be
determined by structural analysis using the assumptions
of 4.2 and 4.3 and one of the following methods of
analysis:
) Elastic analysis in accordance with 4.4,
b) Plastic analysis in accordance with 4.5,
©) Advanced analysis in accordance with
Annex B, and
6) Dynamic analysis in accordance with IS 1893,
(Part 1),
‘The design action effects for design basis earthquake
loads shall be obtained only by an elastic analysis. The
‘maximum credible earthquake loads shall be assumed
to correspond to the load at which significant plastic
hinges are formed in the structure and the
corresponding effects shall be obtained by plastic or
advanced analysis. More information on analysis and
design to resist earthquake is given in Section 12 and
1S 1893 (Patt 1).
4.1.2. Non-sway and Sway Frames
For the purpose of analysis and design, the structural
frames are classified as non-sway and sway frames as
given below:
a) Non-sway frame — One in which the
transverse displacement of one end of the
‘member relative tothe other end is effectively
prevented. This applies to triangulated frames
and trusses or to frames where in-plane
stiffness is provided by bracings, or by shear
walls, orby floor slabs and roof decks secured
horizontally to walls or to bracing systems
parallel to the plane of loading and bending
of the frame.
b) Sway frame — One in which the transverse
displacement of one end of the member
relative to the other end is not effectively
prevented. Such members and frames occur
in structures which depend on flexural action
‘of members to resist lateral loads and sway,
as in moment resisting frames,
©) A rigid jointed multi-storey frame may be
considered as a non-sway frame if in every
individual storey, the deflection 8, over a
storey height f, due to the notional horizontal
loading given in 4.3.6 satisfies the following
criteria:
1) For clad frames, when the stiffening
effect of the cladding is not taken into
account in the deflection calculations:
Ay
ssh.
¥ 000
2) For unclad frame or lad frames, when
the stiffening effect of the cladiug is
taken into account in the deflection
caleulations
bs
00
3) A frame, which when analyzed
considering all the lateral supporting
sytem does not comply with the above
criteria, should be classified as a sway
frame, even if iis braced or otherwise
Iateralystifened.
42 Forms of Construction Assumed for Structural
Analysis
4.2. The effects of design action inthe members and
connections of a structure shall be determined by
assuming singly or in combination ofthe following
forms of consiuction (se 10.6.1
4.2.1.1 Rigid construction
In rigid construction, the connections between
members (beam and column) at their junction shall be.
assumed to have sufficient rigidity to hold the original
angles between the members connected at a joint
unchanged under loading,
42.1.2 Ser
igid construction
Jn semi-rigid construction, the connections between
‘members (beam and colurnn) a ther junction may not
have sufficient rigidity to hold the original angles
between the members at a joint unchanged, but shall
be assumed to have the capacity to furnish a dependable
and known degree of flexural estraint. The relationship
between the degree of flexural restraint and the level
of the load effects shall be established by any rational
method or based on test results (see Annex F).
4.2.1.3 Simple construction
In simple construction, the connections between
‘members (beam and column) at their junction will not
resist any appreciable moment and shall be assumed
tobe hinged
4.2.2 Design of Connections
‘The design of all connections shalt be consistent with
2
allthe form of construction, and the behaviour of the
connections shall not adversely affect any otter part
of the structure beyond what is allowed for in design,
Connections shall be designed in accordance with
Section 10.
4.3 Assumptions in Analysis
4.3.4 The structure shall be analyzed in its entirety
except as follows:
a) Regular building structures, with orthogonal
frames in plan, may be analyzed as a series
of parallel two-dimensional sub-structures
(partof astructure), the analysis being carried
out in each of the two directions, at right
angles to each other, except when there is
significant load redistribution between the
sub-structures (part of a structure). For
‘earthquake loading three dimensional analysis
may be necessary to account for effects of
torsion and also for multi-component
earthquake forces [see IS 1893 (Part 1)].
For vertical loading in a multi-storey building
structure, provided with bracing or shear walls
{o resist al lateral forces, each level thereof,
together with the columns immediately above
and below, may be considered as a sub-
structure, the columns being assumed fixed:
at the ends remote from the level under
consideration
Where beams ata floor level in 2 mult-bay
building structure are considered as a sub-
structure (part of a structure), the bending
moment at the support of the beam duc to
‘gravity loads may be determined based on the
assumption that the beam is fixed atthe far
‘end support, one span away from the span
under consideration, provided that the floor
tbeam is continvous beyond that support point.
43.2 Span Length
‘The span length of a flexural member in a continuous
frame system shall be taken as the distance between
ccentre-to-centre of the supports.
»)
°
43.3 Arrangements of Imposed Loads in Buildings
For building structures, the various arrangements of
imposed loads considered for the analysis, shall include
at least the following:
a) Where the loading pattern is fixed, the
arrangement concerned,
b) Where the imposed load is variable and not
greater than three-quarters of the dead Toad,
the live load may be taken to be acting on all
spans.
2B
18 800; 2007
©) Where the imposed load is variable and.
exceeds three-quarters of the dead load,
arrangements of live load acting on the floor
under consideration shall include the
following cases:
1) Imposed load on alternate spans,
2) Imposed load on two adjacent spans, and
3) Imposed load on all the spans.
43.4 Base Stifness
In the analysis of all structures the appropriate base
stiffness about the axis under consideration shall be
used, In the absence of the knowledge of the pedestal
and foundation stiffness, the following may be
assumed:
) When the column is rigidly connected to a
suitable foundation, the stiffness of the
pedestal shall be taken as the stiffness of the
‘column above base plato. However in case of
very stiff pedestals and foundations the
column may be assumed as fixed at base.
b) When the column is nominally connected
to the foundation, a pedestal stiffness of
10 percent of the column stiffness may be
assumed,
©) When an actual pin or rocker is provided in
the connection between the steel column and
pedestal, the column is assumed as hinged at
base and the pedestal and foundation may be
appropriately designed for the reactions from
the column,
€)_ In case of (a) and (b), the bottom of the
pedestal shall be assumed to have the
following boundary condition in the absence
of any deiaited procedure based on theory or
tests:
1) When the foundation consist of a group
of piles with a pile cap, raft foundation
or an isolated footing resting on rock or
very hard soil, the pedestal shall be
assumed to be fixed at the level of the
ottom of footing or at the top of pile
cap.
When the foundation consist of an
isolated footing resting on other soils,
pedestal shall be assumed to be hinged
atthe level of the bottom of footing.
When the pedestal is supported by 2
single pile, which is laterally surrounded
by soil providing passive resistance, the
pile shall be assumed to be fixed at 2
depth of 5 times the diameter of the pile

below the ground level incase of compact,
ground or the top level of compact soil
in case of poor soil overlying compact
soil
4) When the column is founded into rock,
it may be assumed to be fixed at the
interface of the column and rock.
435 Simple Construction
Bending members may be assumed to have their ends,
connected for shear only and to be free to rotate, In
(siangulated structures, axial forces may be determined
by assuming that all members are pin connected, The
eccentricity for stanchion and column shall be assumed
accordance with 7.
4.3.6 Notional Horizontal Loads
To analyze a frame subjected to gravity toads,
considering the sway stability of the frame, notional
horizontal forces should be applied. These notional
horizontal forces account for practical imperfections
‘and should be taken at each level as being equal t0 0.5
percent of factored dead load plus vertical imposed
loads applied at that level, The notional load should
not be applied along with other lateral loads such as
wind and earthquake loads in the analysi
4.3.6.1 The notional forces should be applied on the
‘whole strueture, in both orthogonal directions, in one
direction at a time, at roof and all floor levels or their
eguivalent.. They should be taken as acting
simultaneously with factored gravity loads,
4.3.6.2 The notional force should not be,
8) applied when considcring overturning or
overall instability;
b) combined with other horizontal (lateral)
Toads;
©) combined with temperature effects; and
4) taken to contribute to the net shear on the
foundation.
4.3.6.3 The sway effect using notional load under
gantry load case need not be considered ifthe ratio of
height o lateral width ofthe building is less than unity.
4.4 Elastic Analysis
44.L Assumptions
Individuat members shall be assumed to remain elastic
under the action of the factored design loads for all
Amit states.
‘The effect of haunching or any variation of the eross-
section along the axis of a member shall be considered,
and where significant, shal be taken into account in
the determination of the member stiffness.
4.4.2 First-Order Elastic Analysis:
Ina first-order elastic analysis, the equilibrium of the
frame in the undeformed geometry is considered, the
changes in the geometry of the frame due to the loading
are not accounted for, and changes in the effective
stiffness of the members due to axial force are
neglected. The effects of these on the first-order
‘bending moments shall be allowed for by using one of |
the methods of moment amplification of 4.4.3.2
or 4.4.3.3 as appropriate. Where the moment
amplification factor C,, C,, calculated in accordance
with 4.4.3.2 or 4.4.3.3 as appropriate, is greater than
1.4, a second-order elastic analysis in accordance with
Annex B shall be cartied out.
4.4.3 Second-Order Elastic Analysis
4.4.3.1 The analysis shall allow for the effects of the
design loads acting on the structure and its members
in their displaced and deformed configuration. These
second-order effects shall be taken into account by
usi

amplification in accordance with 4.4.2,
provided the moment amplification factors,
C, and C, are not greater than 1.4; oF

Joads, without any amplification,
Fora braced member with a design axial compressive
force P, as determined by the first order analysis, the
design bending moment shall be calculated considering
‘moment amplification as in 9.32.2,
443.3 Moment amplification for members in sway
frames
‘The design bending moment shall be calculated as the
product of moment amplification factor [see 9.3.2.2
Gory Cy] and the moment obtained from the first
order analysis of the sway frame, unless analysis
considering second order effects is carried out
(see 4.4.3).

LIMIT STATE DESIGN
8.1 Basis for Design
SLL Tn the limit state design method, the structure
‘hall be designed to withstand safely all loads likely to
act on it throughout its life. It shall not suffer total
collapse under accidental loads such as from explosions
‘or impactor due to consequences of human error to an
extent beyond the local damages. The objective of the
design isto achieve a structure that will remain fit for
use during its life with acceptable target reliability. In
other words, the probability of a limit state being
reached during its lifetime should be very low. The
acceptable limit for the safety and setviceabi
requirements before failure occurs is called a limit state,
In general, the structure shall be designed on the basis,
of the most critical limit state and shall be checked for
‘other limit states,
5.1.2 Steal structures are to be designed and constructed
to satisfy the design requirements with regard to
stability, strength, serviceability, brittle fracture,
fatigue, fire, and durability such that they meet the
following:
8) Remain fit with adequate reliability and be
able to sustain all actions (loads) and other
influences experienced during construction
and use;
b) Have adequate duirability under normal
maintenance;
€) Do not suffer overall damage or collapse
1S 800 : 2007
isproportionately under accidental events
like explosions, vehicle impact or due to
consequences of human error to an extent
beyond local damage. The potential for
catastrophic damage shall be limited or
avoided by appropriate choice of one or more
of the following:
1) Avoiding, eliminating or reducing
exposure to hazards, which the structure
is likely to sustain,
2) Choosing structural forms, layouts and
details and designing such that:
j) the structure has low sensitivity to
hazardous conditions; and
ii) the structure survives with only local
damage even after serious damage
to any one individual clement by the
hazard,
3) Choosing suitable material, design and
detailing procedure, construction
specifications, and control procedures for
shop fabrication and field construction as
relevant to the particular structure.
‘The following conditions may be satisfied to avoid a
disproportionate collapse:
a) The building should be effectively tied
. together at each principal floor level and each
column should be effectively held in position
by means of continuous ties (beams) neatly
orthogonal, except where the steel work
supports only cladding weighing not more
than 0.7 kN/m along with imposed and wind
Jonds, These ties must be stee! members such
as beams, which may be designed for other
purposes, steel bar reinforcement anchoring
the steel frame to conerete floor orstee! mesh
nforcement in composite slab with stecl
profiled sheeting directly connected to beam
with shear connectors. These steel ties and
their end connections should be capable of
resisting factored tensile force not less than
the factored dead and imposed loads acting
on the floor area tributary to the tie nor less
than 75 KN, Such connection of tis to edge
column should also be capable of resisting
1 percent of the maximum axial compression
in the coluron atthe level due to factored dead
and imposed loads, Alt column splices should
be capable of resisting a tensile force equal
to the largest ofa factored dead and live load
reaction from @ single floor level located
between that column splice and the next
column splice below that splice. Lateral load
system to resist notional horizontal loads
prescribed in 4,3.6 should be distributed

‘throughout the building in nearly orthogonal
directions so that no substantial portions is
connected at only one point io such a system.
Precast concrete or other heavy floor or root
Units should be effectively anchored in the
