Construction Joints - Structural Engineers
Locate construction joints at high points in the floor away from drains. Where durability is critical, use fewer joints by allowing larger floor pours. Consider using waterstop at some or all joint locations. ACI requirements for construction joint design Because construction joints are most likely to reduce shear strength, they should be located

DUCTILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR BUILDINGS
www.sefindia.orgthe 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.
FLOOR DIAPHRAGMS.

Moreover, during a major earthquake, in ductile structures where the diaphragms are designed to remain essentially elastic, the superstructure
