The document summarizes key changes made in IS 1893 and IS 13920 seismic codes. Some major changes include:
1) IS 1893 extended design spectra up to 6 seconds, adopted same spectra for all materials, revised response reduction factors and included flat slab buildings.
2) IS 1893 revised hazard estimation and included temporary structures. IS 13920 included collapse mechanism and shear design of beam-column joints.
3) IS 1893 and IS 13920 provided more detailed provisions for irregular structures, infill walls, diaphragm flexibility and structural walls. IS 13920 allowed identification of separate lateral load resisting systems.
