Seismic Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures of Limited Ductility in New Zealand Standard

뉴질랜드 기준에서의 제한된 연성의 RC 구조물 내진설계

As the level of earthquake intensity in Korea is considered to be moderate, some structures or structural elements may be subjected to the reduced ductility demand, in contrast to the structures in high seismicity, due to the large inherent strength induced by gravity loads. New Zealand Standard(NZS) deals with these structures within the category of structures of limited ductility. This paper briefly reviews the concept of structures of limited ductility in NZS, and its applicability to Korean case. A structural wall system which is used as the structural system for typical apartments is taken as an example for the illustration.
