Description

In recent revisions of the Structural Design Codes in New Zealand, a number of changes have been made to seismic design provisions. One of the more significant revisions was the way in which the level of detailing is determined for potential plastic hinges. Previously the level of detailing was based principally on the structural ductility factor, which is broadly similar to the reduction factor, R, used in US practice. With the revision it is based on the predicted magnitude of curvature tha...
