Earthquake requirements in building codes
Damage due to ground motion from earth movement may extend for several hundred miles in all directions; complacency concerning earthquakes is therefore not warranted anywhere; high seismic probability areas such as California have served as laboratories for earthquake provisions of building codes; newly recognized way to design high-rise structures is to rely on ductility and energy absorption beyond yield strength into plastic range; this is included in Los Angeles area code revisions in 1966; concrete frames more than 160 ft high come under this change by limiting percentage of reinforcement so that steel will yield before concrete fails in compression.
