Cyclone Resistant Structures Sectional Committee, CED 57

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the Cyclone
Resistant Structures Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
Cyclonic storms form far away from the seacoast and gradually reduce in speed as they approach the seacoast.
Cyclonic storms generally extend up to about 60 km after striking the coast. Cyclones associated with high
speed winds followed by heavy rains and accompanied by surge have been causing untold misery to the populace
and wide spread devastation of properties in the coastal belts of India. The frequency of cyclonic storms is more
along the East coast as compared to the West coast of India. The coastal regions of Tamil Nadu, Andhra
Pradesh, Orissa and West Bengal on the East coast and Gujarat on the West coast are cyclone prone. Damage
to houses is most responsible for loss of life and thus the need to have greater emphasis on the safety of houses.
Due to this, need has been felt to evolve national standard for design and construction of cyclone resistant
structures so as to ensure desirable level of safet y. Considering that the existing housing stock needs retrofitting
to enhance its cyclonic resistance, this standard lays down the guidelines and proformae for survey of existing
houses their typology and carrying outpost cyclone damage evaluation in buildings. The information collected
will help in compilation of database, which will be very useful for assessment of vulnerability of regions against
cyclonic occurrences.
The composition

of the Committee responsible

for the formulation of this standard is given in Annex B.

For the purpose of deciding whether a particuhw requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value,
observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS 2:1960 Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised). The number of significant places retained in
the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

GUIDELINES FOR SURVEY OF HOUSING AND

BUILDING TYPOLOGY IN CYCLONE PRONE
AREAS FOR ASSESSMENT OF
VULNERABILITY OF REGIONS AND
POST CYCLONE DAMAGE ESTIMATION
1 SCOPE

Proforma IIC

This standard covers the guidelines for survey of

housing and building typology in cyclone prone areas
for assessment of vulnerability of regions and post
cyclone damage estimation.
2 BASIC PRINCIPLES

NOTE Proforma 11A may be used in stand alone mode,

whereas Proforma 11A,arrdProforma IIB (one for each building)
may be filled when it is required to retrofit the buildings for
improved cyclone resistance Proforma IIC shall always be tilled
in conjunction with Proforma IIB.

FOR SURVEY

2.1 The guidelines and proformae are intended to

identify the preparedness and accessibility of the area,
establishing
building
typology
along with the
weakness in structural schemes, inadequacies in the
materials and methods of construction so that an
appropriate cost effective scheme of retrofitting may
be designed for improved cyclone resistance and thus
decreased vulnerability to any future damage. The
proformae may also be used for carrying out a post
cyclone damage estimation of buildings.

2.3 Sample Size

It is desired that fairly representative sample size is
needed to be taken for establishing
the building
typology for any unit. It is therefore suggested that a
minimum of 10 percent of the total houseshtildings
may be surveyed with the following
maximum
numbers for each category.
Non-engineered
Semi-engineered
Engineered

2.2 Different sets of proformae as given at Annex A

have been evolved keeping one village as unit. In case
of district headquarters or big cities, the same may be
divided in distinct zones up to a maximum of five and
treating each zone as one unit.
The following
proformae maybe got filled in stand-alone mode or in
conjunction depending upon the purposes of survey:
Proforma I

To identify the preparedness of the

unit for handling a cyclone disaster
and the accessibility of the area for
the purpose of relief. It has to be
filled for each unit.

Proforma HA

To obtain statistical information

for the purpose of characterization
of building typology.

Proforma IIB

To obtain information about structural system employed and various

typical member size so that inadequacies of the building can be
determined and suitable retrofitting measures designed.

To record the extent and nature of

damage suffered to buildings only
for post cyclone damage survey in
a region.

NOTE For the purpose of this standard, 1S 15498:2004

Guidelines for improving the cyclonic resistance of low rise
houses and other buildingaktudeses may be referred to for
non-engineered, semi-engineered and engineered construction.

2.4 Educational

by the

society for their housing needs and their vulnerability

against cyclones.
Plan, structure shapes, structural
schemes, materials and methods of construction are
important factors considered.

4.1 Damage to Roof of Non-engineered

and Semiengineered Construction
and Walls with Thatch,
AC Sheets and Other Sheets
Marginal A few connections
loosened
or
damaged.
Medium Roof/Wall cladding in bad condition or
blown off partially (<50 percent), wall
posts tilted, and sagging of roof.
Heavy
Roof/Wall cladding blown off with
damage to runners, bracings of walls
and posts.
Total
Roof/Wall totally damaged.

I General

For each village as a unit one general data sheet

(Proforma I) has to be filled. For cities and towns, the
size of the habitat may be large and therefore the
delineation
of zones has to be decided prior to
undertaking
the survey and consistent
with the
requirements of adequate information on building
typology. Each zone thus identified shall have one
general data sheet. A map of the village zone be
procured from local authorities showing important
land marks, inhabited area, etc, and appended with the
survey record.

4.2 Damage to WaUs Made of Mud, Reiioreed MuG

#nd BricldStonWement Concrete Block Masonry
Marginal Minor cracks in walls, plaster peeled
off, moisture penetration noticed on
inside wall.
Medium Large cracks in wall, no tilt, plaster
peeled off, wall material weathered at
reaction locations.
Heavy
Wall tilted with or without cracks,
portion of wall damaged or partial
collapse.
i
Total
Failure of the wall.

The information gathered in this section assesses the

cyclone vulnerability of the area and its preparedness
to handle the disaster, building environs and the
accessibility of the area for providing quick relief.

SCALES

and

The proforma II is in three parts A, B and C. Proforma

11A covers the statistical information about buildings
for the purposes of characterization
of building
typolog y. Proforma IIB covers information about
structural systems, member sizes and connection
details for examining the cyclone resistance of the
existing buildings and to retrofit them, if needed, for
improved cyclone resistance. Proforma IIC covers the
damage survey of the buildings in the post disaster
scenario.
The questionnaire is so designed that if
needed, a back analysis maybe carried out to make an
estimate of prevailing wind speeds at the time of
damage.
