Abstract:
The purpose and scope of this special publication, which is concerned primarily with departures from and improvement upon code-based seismic design practice, are outlined. The broad underlying principles of wind and seismic design by current codes are discussed. Certain major deficiencies of current practice are pointed out. Comparative features of elastic and inelastic seismic structural response are outlined.

This chapter summarizes fundamental concepts pertaining to the development of seismic input criteria for inelastic design of reinforced concrete structures. The chapter is organized into five main sections that describe concepts related to earthquake phenomena; ground-shaking characterization, geologic factors, and measurement; and the three principal approaches for defining seismic design spectra, and motion-time histories. Compilation of the information contained in this chapter was completed in early 1988; therefore, the concepts presented in the chapter are based on earthquake ground-motion data, results, and procedures developed up to that time.

Observations on the performance of reinforced concrete structures during past earthquakes are summarized and discussed. The review covers observations related to the structural concept, proportioning, and detailing. The review draws from experiences gained during numerous earthquakes, and includes observations of acceptable building performances as well as unacceptable ones. The repeated occurrence of many classes of damage and failure suggests lessons that should be learned.

This chapter serves as a primer to acquaint a novice with the vast amount of experimental data that has been acquired over the last two decades on behavior of reinforced concrete components subjected to repeated reversals of lateral force and earthquake response of concrete building systems. General characteristics of hysteretic behavior and dynamic response are presented rather than discrete summaries of each test program done to date. An extensive reference list presents over 400 publications that specifically address laboratory studies of reinforced concrete members, joints, or building systems. The listing is subdivided for laboratory investigations of (a) beams and beam-column joints, (b) columns, (c) walls, (d) frame and frame-wall systems, (e) coupled-wall systems, and (f) infilled-frame systems.
