Progress in Seismic Design Concept in Moderate Seismicity regions

중약진 지역에서의 내진설계 개념의 발전동향

Seismic design in low to moderate seismic regions has to be based on the characteristics of seismic risk ground motion and structural response in that region. The characteristics of seismic hazard in low to moderate seismic regions are reviewed briefly. The recent findings on the dynamic behavior subjected to the moderate intensity level of ground motion are summarized. The seismic design considerations in Easterm America China Australia Thailand and Hong Kong will be introduced, . The effort to adopt the limited ductility design in low to moderate seismicity regions will be reported. Finally research works that are required for the implementation of the limited design concept will be proposed.
