Detailing of Reinforced Concrete Structures Chapter 8

8.3 EARTHQUAKE-RESISTANT DESIGN PROVISIONS

8.3.1 Scope
This section contains special requirements for design and construction of reinforced concrete members of a
structure for which the design forces, related to earthquake motions, have been determined on the basis of
energy dissipation in the nonlinear range of response.
8.3.2 Provisions
(a) The provisions of Chapter 6, shall apply except as modified by the provisions of this Section.
(b) Structures assigned to seismic design category SDC D (see Chapter 2), all reinforced concrete structures
shall satisfy the requirements of special seismic detailing as given in Sections 8.3.3 to 8.3.8 in addition to the
requirements of Chapter 6. The provisions for special moment frames exclude use of slab without beam as
part of the seismic force-resisting system.
(c) Structures assigned to SDC C (see Chapter 2), all reinforced concrete structures shall be built to satisfy the
requirements of intermediate seismic detailing as given in Sec 8.3.10 in addition to the requirements of
Chapter 6.
(d) Structures assigned to SDC B (see Chapter 2), all reinforced concrete structures shall be built to satisfy the
requirements of ordinary detailing as given in Sec 8.3.9 in addition to the requirements of Chapter 6.
(e) Structures in lower SDCs are permitted to design with detailing provisions of higher SDCs to take advantage
of lower design force levels.
8.3.3 General Requirements
Analysis and proportioning of structural members
(a) The interaction of all structural and nonstructural members shall be considered in the analysis.
(b) Rigid members which are not a part of the lateral force resisting system are allowed provided their effect on
the response of the system is considered and accommodated in the structural design. Consequences of
failure of structural and nonstructural members which are not a part of the lateral force resisting system
shall also be considered.
(c) Structural members below base of structure required to transmit forces resulting from earthquake effects
to the foundation shall also comply with the requirements of this section.
(d) All structural members which are not a part of the lateral force resisting system shall conform to Sec 8.3.9.
Strength reduction factors
Strength reduction factors shall be in accordance with Sections 6.2.3.2 to 6.2.3.4.
Concrete in special moment frames and special structural walls
Compressive strength of the concrete shall be not less than 21 N/mm 2. Specified compressive strength of
light-weight concrete, shall not exceed 35MPa unless demonstrated by experimental evidence. Modification
lightweight concrete in Sec 8.3 shall be in accordance with Sec 6.1.8 unless noted otherwise.
Reinforcement in special moment frames and special structural walls
(a) Requirements of Sec 8.3.3.4 shall apply to special moment frames, special structural walls and all
components of special structural walls including coupling beams and wall piers.
(b) Deformed reinforcement resisting earthquake-induced flexural and axial force, or both, shall comply with
ASTM A706, BDS ISO 6935-2: 2007(E) and ASTM A615. Grades 275 and 420 reinforcement shall be
permitted if:
