This question was posed to me in an internship interview.

I would like to ask this question from Earthquake Resistant topic in section Earthquake Resistant Buildings of Construction & Building Materials

Answer 1

Correct answer is (c) IS 1893: 2002

To explain I would say: During the construction of earthquake-resistant buildings, projecting parts should be avoided as far as possible. In case, they cannot be avoided then the design of the projecting parts should be per IS 1893: 2002.
