IS 800 : 1956 was the first in the series of Indian Standards brought out under this programme. The standard was revised in 1962 and subsequently in 1984, incorporating certain very important changes. 1S 800 is the basic Code for general construction in steel structures and is the prime document for any structural ‘design and has snfluence on many otner codes governing the design ot otner special steel structures, such as towers, bridges, silos, chimneys, etc. Realising the necessity to update the standard to the state ofthe art of the steel construction technology and economy, the current revision of the standard was undertaken, Consideration has been given to the developments taking place in the country and abroad, and necessary modifications and additions have been incorporated to make the standard more useful. The revised standard will enhance the confidence of designers, engineers, contractors, technical institutions, professional bodies and the industry and will open a new era in safe and economic consiruction in steel In this revision the following major modifications have been effected: 8) Inview of the development and production of new varieties of medium and high tensile structural stcels inthe county, the scope of the standard has been modified permitting the use of any variety of structural steel provided the relevant provisions of the standard are satisfied. ) The standard has made reference to the Indian Standards now available for rivets bolts and other fasteners. ©) The standard is based on limit state method, reflecting the latest developments and the state ofthe art. The revision of the standard was based on a review carried out and the proposals framed by Indian Institute of ‘Technology Madras (IIT Madras). The project was supported by Institute of Steel Development and Growth (INSDAG) Kolkata. There has been considerable contribution from [NSDAG and IIT Madras, with assistance from a number of academic, research, design and contracting institutes/organizations, in the preparation of the revised standard In the formulation of this standard the following publications have also been considered: AS-4100-1998 Steel structures (second edition), Standards Australia (Standards Association of Australia), Homebush, NSW 2140.
