What is Earthquake-Resistant Structural Design about?

This chapter discusses structural forms for earthquake resistant structures. It outlines two earthquake design philosophies: 1) prevent collapse during extreme events while allowing some damage, and 2) prevent structural damage and limit non-structural damage during more frequent events. Ductile structures that can yield plastically without significant strength loss are key to meeting these goals. Past earthquakes showed that regular, well-tied structures with continuous load paths performed better than irr
