An engineer needs the published acceptance criteria for judging whether an existing reinforced concrete building is seismically adequate. The document to consult is

  • A.IS 456
  • B.IS 15988
  • C.IS 13920
  • D.IS 1893

Answer: B

It sets out the evaluation procedure, the acceptance criteria against which an existing building is judged, and the strengthening options open once it has been found wanting. Repair and seismic strengthening more generally, masonry included, are dealt with in IS 13935 instead.
