DUCTILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR BUILDINGS

1 DUCTILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR BUILDINGS Prof. P. C. Vasani, Applied Mechanics Department, L. D. College of Engineering, Ahmedabad 380015. Bhumika B. Mehta M. E. CIVIL - (CASAD) Sem - III B-2, Kalindi Flats, Opp. Kadwa Patidar Boarding, C. G. Road, Ahmedabad 380006. Ph. No. (079)6561093 PDF created with FinePrint pdfFactory trial version 2 ABSTRACT At this stage, it is not necessary to explain why study of earthquake resistant structures with DUCTILITY requirement is essential. After the killing earthquake of Bhuj on January 26, 2001, the attitude of the structural engineers of looking towards the earthquakes has totally changed. In general, the analysis of earthquake forces and design of earthquake resistant structure is very much complex in nature.

the brittle failure as result of inelastic deformation can be avoided only if the concrete is made to behave in a ductile manner so that the member can absorb and dissipate large amount of energy. Hence in the case of reinforced concrete members subjected to inelastic deformation, not only strength but also ductility plays vital role in the design.
