Earthquake-Resistant Design
From both practical experience and published experimental evidence, it becomes clear that the methods adopted by current codes for the design of earthquake-resistant RC structures have two significant shortcomings: Not only do they lead to reinforcement congestion which may cause difficulties in concreting and often incomplete compaction, but, also, in spite of the large amount of reinforcement specified, they have been found unable to always prevent the brittle types of failure which they are widely considered to safeguard against.
