Reinforced Concrete Structures in Seismic Zones
Also Known As:
ACI SP-53:1977 is a comprehensive collection of research papers and design principles related to reinforced concrete structures in seismic zones. The standard addresses conceptual problems, dynamic analysis, and mathematical modeling related to the performance of concrete structures in earthquake-prone areas. It provides basic design concepts for shearwall structures, focusing on the behavior of reinforced concrete components, particularly beam-column joints.
The standard emphasizes the analysis and evaluation of research results in relation to design considerations for seismic-resistant structures. Additionally, it provides insights into the repair of earthquake-damaged structures, highlighting the importance of post-earthquake repair and reinforcement techniques.
The table of contents of the standard highlights the different topics covered, including the earthquake problem, seismic design principles, prediction of earthquake response, ductility of shearwalls, strength and ductility of beam-column joints, and anchorage of reinforcing bars. It also includes sections on inelastic responses of concrete structures, seismic behavior of moment-resisting frames, and the use of steel fibrous-ductile concrete joints for seismic resistance.
