- Abstract
- This workshop provides a means for the exchange of information related to the state-of-the-art and state-of-the-practice in the design and construction of seismic-resistant reinforced concrete buildings, to evaluate current progress, and to establish research needs and priorities for future work. Specific objectives were to: (1) evaluate current knowledge and practice in the planning, design, and construction of earthquake-resistant reinforced concrete buildings; (2) review the objectives and scope of existing research programs and discuss their findings to provide feedback to researchers; (3) examine needs and priorities for immediate, as well as long-range, research required to remove gaps in current knowledge and to improve current practice; and (4) improve communication and cooperation (at both the national and international levels) between research and professional organizations, as well as between different research groups. In Volume 1, the final recommendations of the workshop form the main portion of the text. Four appendices follow, containing the program, the list of participants, the list of working groups, and a research directory.
