Dear All,

We hope everyone had two good days of discussion on Sections 7 & 8.
There were good level of participation and most of the queries and
comments were discussed and responded by our fellow SEFIans.

One item which probably needs some clarification is:

Comment: Clause 7.3.11 is in contradiction with Table 1 in Section 5,
which prohibits use of flat slab in Zone IV & V. But 7.3.11 says to
ignore stiffness of flat slab.�Code should be consistent with its
provisions, one can be confused to use whether use flat slab system or
not in those zones.

Response: Clause 7.3.11 restricts the use of flat slab column frames
stiffness to be considered for lateral resistance of the structure and
Table 1 is consistent with this requirement by not listing it among
acceptable lateral load resitting system. Flat slab could be used as
gravity system subject the requirements of IS 1893.

Best regards,
