This draft revision of IS: 1905 is prepared as a project entitled “Review of building codes and Handbook” awarded to IIT Kanpur by GSDMA, Gandhinagar through World Bank Finances. 0.2 – Structural adequacy of masonry walls depends upon a number of factors, among which mention may be made of quality and strength of masonry units and mortars, workmanship, methods of bonding, unsupported height of walls, eccentricity in the loading, position and size of openings in walls: location of cross walls and the combination of various external loads to which walls are subjected. 0.3 – This code was first published in 1961. In its revision in 1969, basic compressive stresses and stress factors for slenderness were modified resulting in increased permissible stresses in load bearing brick and block walls. Subsequently two more revisions were published in 1980 & 1987. The following major changes were made in its second revision: a) Use of stones (in regular sized units), concrete blocks, lime based blocks and hollow blocks were included as masonry units; b) Mix proportions and compressive strengths of mortars used in masonry were revised; c) Optimum mortar mixes for maximum strength of masonry for units of various strengths were indicated; d) Provisions for lateral supports to walls had been amplified so as to include stability requirements; e) Conditions of support for calculation of effective height of masonry walls and columns, and effective length of masonry walls were spelt out more clearly; f) Maximum allowable slenderness ratio for load bearing walls was increased; g) In case of free-standing walls, height to Page 1 Code &Commentary IS:1905 PROVISIONS COMMENTARY thickness ratios were indicated for different wind pressures, based upon requirements for stability; h) Basic compressive stresses for masonry members were modified so that strength of masonry units correspond to revised values of brick crushing strength specified in IS:1077-1986*; i) Formula for calculating area reduction factor was modified; j) Angle of dispersion of concentrated loads, from the direction of such loads was changed from 45° to 30°; k) Provisions relating to shape modification factors for masonry units other than common bricks were amplified; l) Values of permissible shear stress was related to the actual compressive stresses in masonry due to dead loads; m) Provisions on ‘corbelling’ were amplified. *Specification for common burnt clay building bricks (Fourth Revision). 0.4 – The present revision is intended to further modify certain provisions as a result of experience gained with the use of the second revision of the standard. The following major changes have been made in this revision. (i) The requirements of a masonry element for stability have been modified. (ii) In the design of a free standing wall, provision has been made for taking advantage of the tensile resistance in masonry under certain conditions. (iii)Provision regarding effective height of a masonry wall between openings has been modified. (iv)Method of working out effective height of a wall with a membrane type DPC has been modified, (v)Criteria for working out effective length of wall having openings have been modified. (vi)Some
