When designing Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) structures, especially in seismically active regions, ensuring safety and structural integrity under earthquake forces is paramount. Seismic design involves not just the consideration of loads but also the dynamic interaction between the structure and ground motions. In this article, we’ll explore the key factors that govern the seismic design of RCC structures. 1. Seismic Zoning and Site-Specific Conditions Seismic Zoning: Countries are divided into seismic zones based on the probability and intensity of earthquake occurrences. For instance, India is divided into four seismic zones…
