A REVIEW ON EFFECT OF CONFINING REINFORCEMENT ON DUCTILITY OF RC STRUCTURE UNDER DYNAMIC LOADING

Abstract

RC structures have been the area of research for a very long time. Engineers are concerned of the vulnerability of public buildings due to lack of dynamic consideration in design procedures. In India usually joint is neglected for specific detailing. This design methodology can work only in absence of dynamic loading. If beam-column joint of any structure is damaged due to poor detailing it becomes difficult to repair as it is inaccessibility. This can jeopardize the stability of whole structure. The focus has been to improve building codes and make it mandatory for all the structures to be designed accordingly. One of the most important parameters that has played crucial role in improving the performance of RC structures under dynamic loading is ductility
