ABOUT
This lodian Standard (Third Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the Structural Engineering and Structural Sections Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
The stoel 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 products and their use. IS 800: 1956 was the first in the series of Indian Standards brought out under 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 special steel structures, such as
Towers, bridges, silos, chimneys, etc. Realising the necessity to update the standard to the state of the art of the
stcel 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 a new era in safe and economic construction in steel. In this revision the following major modifications have been effected:
a) In view of the development and production of new varieties of medium and high tensile structural stels In the country, the scope of the standard has been modified permitting the use of any variety of structural steel provided the relevant provision of the Mandard are satisfied b) The standard has made reference to the Indian Standards now available for rivets, bolts and other fasteners.
e) The standard is based on limit stue method, reflecting the latest developments and the state of the art. The revision of the standard was based on a review cartied out and the proposals framed by Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IT Madras). The project was supported by Institute of Steel Development and Growth (INSDAG) 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
BS-5950-2000
