Sl. No. Is No & Year IS Title
1 IS 13935 : 2009 Seismic Evaluation, Repair and Strengthening of Masonry Buildings - Guidelines
2 IS 15988 : 2013 Seismic evaluation and strengthening of existing reinforced concrete buildings - Guidelines

Sl.No. Synosis Points
1 The provisions of this standard are applicable to ascertain whether or not a building affected during an earthquake can be occupied immediately after the earthquake. This standard provides guidance only for the two common building typologies, namely: a) Unreinforced masonry load-bearing buildings, and b) RC moment frame buildings with unreinforced masonry infill walls.
2 The provisions of this standard seek filling of forms based on visual inspection of the building, and do not require any calculations to be performed using geometric dimensions of buildings or current properties of materials used in the construction of the building.
3 The provisions of this standard exclude the loss estimation, and correlation between the damage and loss. However, the standard provides clear recommendation as to which level of technical assessment is needed if the building is not green tagged (see 5.3 for colour coded tagging of buildings). Also, the provisions of the standard may be suitably used to evaluate/assess the buildings damaged by any other disaster, by the agencies/authorities concerned.
