2 nae Government of India Ministry of Railways INDIAN RAILWAY STANDARD CODE FOR EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT DESIGN OF RAILWAY BRIDGES (Seismic Code) ADOPTED - 2017 os WIinwDSS | a sea, 4 SS y-y 4 io see UN oe UIT Ue [aU Ne ere.) CRITERIA FOR EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT DESIGN OF RAILWAY BRIDGES FOREWORD ‘This code contains provisions for the design of new Railway bridges and for seismic evaluation of existing bridges inthe process oftheir seismic upgradation and retrofit. Seismic provisions earl of Bridge rules were based upon 15:1893-1988. IS code was completely revised in 2002 incorporating the latest design philosophy. The new methods of 11893-2002 were based onthe international practices andi toh into account the Flxiiity and Ductlty of the structure while calculating design forces. S:1893 (Part 3) contains provisions for seismic design of Railways and Road Bridges. However, soine of the design parameters such a Live Load combination factor, Response reduction factor etc need to be Railway specific which were finalized inthe BSC mestings. Therefore our Raikvay specific seme code is based upon ':1893 (pat 3) with changes in some parameters/design factors related to Railway loading only. The design procedure and methodology remains exactly the same as given inthe IS:1893 (part3). Uniss otherwise stated, his standard shall be ead necessarily n conjunction with Is:1893 (Part 1), which contains provisions that are general in nature and applicable to all typeof structures. Forthe purpose of determining design seismic forces, the countryisclassified into four seismic zones sper Fig of:1893 (Part). ‘This standard has been formulated to ensure that bridges possess at least a minimum strength to withstand earthquakes. The intention Is not to prevent Samage to them due tothe ‘most severe shaking that they may be subjected to during thelr ifetime. Actual forces that appear on different portions of bridge during earthquakes may be greater than the design seismic forces specified inthis standard, However, ductity arising from material behavior,
