Assessment of the behaviour factor for the seismic design of reinforced concrete structural walls according to SANS 10160 - Part 4

Reinforced concrete structures, designed according to proper capacity design guidelines, can deform inelastically without loss of strength. Therefore, such structures need not be designed for full elastic seismic demand, but could be designed for a reduced demand. In codified design procedures this...
