IS 1893:2016 — Criteria for Earthquake Resistant Design of Structures

BIS Structural Engineering ESE GATE

Reference summary — verify against the current edition of the code before you rely on it in practice. Free tier available — start free.

Seismic design — response spectrum, base shear, zone factors.

Issued by BIS · Governs Structural Engineering

Provisions most often examined

  • Design base shear \(V_B = A_h W\)
  • Seismic zone factors Z
  • Importance and response reduction factors

These are the provisions that recur in ESE, GATE and SSC JE question papers, not a complete list of the code's clauses. Mock Test Mitra is a practice platform, not a standards body — read the code itself for authoritative text.
