Title: Draft Amendment No. 1 to IS 16700: 2017 Criteria for Structural Safety of Tall Concrete
Buildings; ICS 91.080.40
‘Table 1 Maximum value of Height, H above Top of Base Level of Buildings with Different
Structural System for Lateral Loads, in metre
(Clause 5.1.1)
Sl Seismic Structural System
No.
Moment Frame Structural Wall Structural Wall + Structural Wall + Structural Wall +
Moment Perimeter Frame Framed Tube
Frame
When design lateral forces are applied on the building, the maximum inter-storey elastic lateral drift
ratio (∆max /hi) under serviceability loads (wind load with return period of 20 years), which is estimated
based on section properties for serviceability loads mentioned in 7.2, shall be limited to H/500. For
a single storey the drift limit may be relaxed to hi/400. For the designed earthquake load, the drift
shall be limited to hi/250.’
(Page 5, clause 5.6.1, line 2) – Substitute ‘minimum structural topping’ for ‘minimum screed’
(Page 5, clause 5.6.2.3, line 4) – Substitute the following with the existing:
‘5.6.2.3 At any storey, the minimum width of floor slab along any section after deduction of openings
shall not be less than 5 m, if there is no perimeter beam. Further, the cumulative width of the slab
at any location shall preferably not be less than 50 percent of the floor width.’
(Page 5, clause 5.6.3, line 2) – Substitute ‘exceed’ for ‘be less than’
(Page 5, clause 5.6.4) – delete.
(Page 5, Table 3) – delete.
(Page 5, clause 5.7.2.3) – Substitute ‘20 mm’ for ‘16 mm’
[Page 6, Table 4, Sl No. i), Column 3] – Substitute ‘0.18’ for ‘0.15
(Page 6, clause 6.3.2, first sentence) – Substitute the existing sentence with the following:
‘6.3.2 For buildings in Seismic Zone V deterministic site-specific design spectra may preferably be
estimated and used in design.’
(Page 6, Table 5) – Insert ‘Percent’ after ‘Minimum’ in the title.
(Page 7, clause 7.3.10, line 3) – Delete ‘(P∆u/H)’.
𝑃 ×∆
(Page 7, clause 7.3.10) – Insert ‘, where 𝜃 = H × hi
(see IS 1893).’ at the end of the sentence.
