- 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. Volumes 2 and 3 comprise the technical reports and papers that were presented. Topic areas in Volume 2 include: an overview of the state-of-the-practice in earthquake-resistant reinforced concrete building construction; user needs; mechanical characteristics and performance of reinforced and prestressed concrete materials under seismic conditions; reinforced and prestressed concrete structural systems; and methods of structural analysis.
