No. 236. 1997. Seismic design of reinforced concrete structures for controlled inelastic response - Recent advances in design concepts and codes.

Codified seismic design has grown to a rather high level of sophistication over a relatively short period of time and the pace is not relenting, with novel concepts already approaching the stage of implementation. 

This document clarifies the logic tying together the several design parameters included in modern codes, and demonstrates it through theoretical! appoaches and extensive original applications.
