1.10 Building Codes & IS Standards | Important IS Codes for GATE & UPSC

Описание: 1.10 Building Codes & IS Standards | Important IS Codes for GATE & UPSC

📝 About This Lesson (Section 1.10) Welcome to Lecture 1.10 of the Perfect Guided Series! In this session, we tackle the "Rulebook of Quality"—Building Codes and Standards.

Why do we use specific grades of concrete? How do we design for earthquakes? The answers lie in the IS Codes (Indian Standards) published by the BIS. In this video, we compile the essential list of IS Codes you must memorize for competitive exams. We also introduce performance-based codes like ECBC (Energy Conservation Building Code) and Green Building Standards (GRIHA/LEED).

📍 Topics Covered:

The Hierarchy: Difference between Acts, Rules, Codes, and Standards.

Essential IS Codes (The "Must-Memorize" List):

IS 456: Plain & Reinforced Concrete.

IS 800: General Construction in Steel.

IS 1893: Earthquake Resistant Design.

IS 875: Design Loads (Dead, Live, Wind, Snow).

IS 962: Code of Practice for Architectural & Building Drawings.

Energy Codes: Introduction to ECBC (Energy Conservation Building Code) and its applicability.

Fire Safety: Specifics of IS 1641/1642 (Fire safety of buildings).

Green Standards: Brief overview of GRIHA, LEED, and IGBC rating systems.

🎓 Exam Relevance:

GATE Architecture: Very high probability of "Match the Following" questions (e.g., Match IS 1893 to Earthquake).

UPSC & CPWD: Technical questions on specific provisions of IS 456 (e.g., "Min grade of concrete for sea-water exposure").

DDA/Govt Exams: Questions on "Which code governs Wind Load?" or "ECBC is mandatory for what load?"

📚 Quick Note-Taking Guide for Viewers Create a "Code Match Table" in your notebook:

Earthquake: IS 1893

Loads: IS 875 (Parts 1-5)

Drawings: IS 962

Ceramic Tiles: IS 15622 (We will cover 15+ codes in the video!)
