The S.M. Uzumeri Symposium titled "Behavior and Design of Concrete Structures for Seismic Performance" discusses various aspects related to the behavior and design of concrete structures in seismic conditions. The symposium includes presentations on topics such as the ductile seismic torsional response of reinforced concrete buildings, shear strength of circular reinforced concrete columns, seismic design provisions in Japan, seismic evaluation and rehabilitation of buildings, strengthening buildings with new concrete, design of joints in reinforced concrete structures, design of confinement reinforcement in columns for seismic performance, seismic evaluation and retrofit of Canadian bridges, and prediction of strength and shear distortion in R/C beam-column joints.

The symposium brings together experts in the field to share their knowledge and experiences, aiming to provide valuable insights and recommendations for the design and performance of concrete structures under seismic conditions. The papers cover a wide range of topics, including analysis techniques, design considerations, retrofitting methods, and lessons learned from recent earthquakes. The symposium serves as a platform to bridge the gap between research and practice, promoting the application of innovative design and construction techniques for improving the seismic performance of concrete structures.
