ISO 4356:1977 PDF Download

ISO 4356:1977 is a standard that provides guidelines for the design of structures in relation to the deformations of buildings at their serviceability limit states. The standard outlines the fundamental principles that should be followed when establishing national standards, regulations, and recommendations for building deformations. It specifically focuses on the deformations of various types of buildings, including dwellings, offices, public buildings, and factories. However, the standard excludes other types of structures such as bridges, roads, masts, underground works, non-residential farm buildings, and specialized buildings like atomic power stations or industrial plants. ISO 4356:1977 aims to ensure that buildings maintain acceptable levels of deformation under normal service conditions.
