COURSE OUTLINE
II. Reinforced Concrete The NSCP C101-01 Section 421 contains special requirement
A. Definition of Terms
B. WSD for the design of RC members that are part of the lateral
Beam
resisting frame subjected to earthquake motions.
Column
Examples 3, 4, & 5 These requirements were established based on the profound
C. USD
Beam engineering experiences and experiments to ensure good
Column
Examples 5 and 6 performance of the structure during earthquakes.
III. Building Frame System It provides requirements to mitigate earthquake stresses by
A. Code Design Criteria
B. Structural System increasing the ductility of the structure through the confinement
C. Vertical Irregularities
of concrete with reinforcing steel where plastic hinging may
D. Plan Irregularities
II. Reinforced Concrete Reinforced concrete structures in high seismic risk must have:
A. Definition of Terms
• Strength, Ductility, Toughness
B. WSD
Beam
Column
Examples 3, 4, & 5 The performance criteria of RC members resisting earthquake:
C. USD
• Serviceability Limit State - material remains in the elastic
Beam
Column range and no damage is expected.
