Full title and description

KMK 3.03.01-98 — "Bearing and enclosing structures" (Russian: "Несущие и ограждающие конструкции"). This document is the national construction regulation covering requirements for load‑bearing and enclosing building elements; the text is available in Russian (original) and in some commercial English translations.

Abstract

KMK 3.03.01-98 sets out technical requirements, workmanship and acceptance rules for the design, production, erection and quality control of primary structural and enclosing elements used in buildings (including reinforced‑concrete, steel, masonry and composite systems). It consolidates design/practice rules and replaces earlier local/regional documents on the same subject while including subsequent amendments.

General information

• Status: Active / in-force (documented as the KMK regulation for load‑bearing and enclosing structures).
• Publication date: 1998 (identifier suffix "-98" indicates the year of adoption).
• Publisher: Issued as part of the KMK (construction norms and rules) series under the national architecture & construction authority of the Republic of Uzbekistan (KMK series are the country’s construction norms and rules overseen by the State architecture/construction body).
• ICS / categories: Construction — building structures and structural engineering (commonly referenced under ICS 91.080, structures of buildings).
• Edition / version: Original 1998 text with at least one amendment noted in available commercial catalogues ("with amendment").
• Number of pages: Approximately 138 pages (electronic copies sold by standards resellers indicate ~138 pages).

Scope

Applies to the design, manufacture, assembly/erection, acceptance and inspection of primary bearing elements (columns, beams, slabs, frames), enclosing elements (external/internal walls, cladding, facades, partitions, roofs) and associated connections and interfaces used in building construction. KMK 3.03.01-98 is the national regulation that supersedes or updates earlier local technical rules and works alongside complementary KMK documents and construction regulations.

Key topics and requirements

• Design requirements for reinforced‑concrete, steel, masonry and composite bearing elements.
• Tolerances, dimensional and geometric accuracy for structural elements and prefabricated units.
• Material specifications and quality control (concrete grades, reinforcement, steel grades, masonry units).
• Manufacture, assembly and erection procedures for monolithic and precast systems.
• Rules for welding, bolting, anchorage and structural connections.
• Acceptance tests, sampling, documentation and handover procedures.
• Durability, corrosion protection and minimum protective measures for long‑term performance.
• Inspection, non‑conformance handling and remedial requirements.

Typical use and users

Used by structural and civil engineers, design offices, construction contractors, precast manufacturers, quality control/inspection bodies and building authorities involved in the design, fabrication and erection of building load‑bearing and enclosing systems in jurisdictions where KMK regulations apply (notably Uzbekistan). It is also used by consultants and firms translating/adapting the KMK requirements for international projects in the region.

Related standards

KMK 3.03.01-98 is part of the broader KMK series of construction norms. Closely related documents include KMK 3.03.02-98 (metal constructions — production and acceptance rules) and KMK 3.03.04-98 (precast concrete manufacture), plus seismic, loads and materials KMK modules (e.g., KMK 2.01.x series). It also follows on from earlier Soviet/SNIP style documents for "Несущие и ограждающие конструкции" and is referenced alongside newer construction regulations.
