About — IS 1893 (2002)
IS 1893 (2002) is an Indian Standard that prescribes criteria for seismic design of buildings and other structures to ensure they can withstand earthquake forces. It serves as the national benchmark for earthquake‑resistant construction, requiring a site‑specific response spectrum that, for instance, dictated the seismic design of Mumbai’s World Trade Centre skyscraper.
