Sl.No. Synosis Points
1 Since the publication of the second revision of IS 875 Part 1 in 1987, there have been significant improvements in material technology leading to use of a number of new and improved materials for construction of buildings and structures. In this current revision, unit weights of many common new materials have been incorporated, and data on existing materials were reviewed and revised as necessary. The revisions of the corresponding Indian standards of the building materials have also been considered in this revision. Provisions relating to dead load for gardening and landscaping have also been introduced.
