Description

Reinforced concrete (RC) buildings designed as per current seismic codes/standards are expected to satisfy “life safety” in a design level earthquake, but modern buildings have suffered significant damage in recent earthquakes, which were either irreparable or required lengthy and costly repair. Seismic codes/standards allow buildings to be designed for different lateral strength as long as the associated ductility and drift demands are catered for. The design seismic force is primarily contr...
