IS-800-2007 : GENERAL CONSTRUCTION IN STEEL — CODE OF PRACTICE

 

The scope of IS 800 2007

This standard applies to general construction using hot rolled steel sections joined using riveting, bolting and welding. Specific provisions for bridges, chimneys, cranes, tanks, transmission line towers, bulk storage structures, tubular structures, cold formed light gauge steel sections, etc, are covered in separate standards.

This standard gives only general guidance as regards the various loads to be considered in design. For the actual loads and load combinations to be used, reference may be made to IS 875 for dead, live, snow and wind loads and to IS1893 (Part 1) for earthquake loads.

 Fabrication and erection requirements covered in this standard are general and the minimum necessary quality of material and workmanship consistent with assumptions in the design rules. The actual requirements may be further developed as per other standards or the project specification, the type of structure and the method of construction. 

For seismic design, recommendations pertaining to steel frames only are covered in this standard. For more detailed information on seismic design of other structural and non-structural components, reference should be made to IS 1893 (Part 1) and other special publications on the subject.
