Quote:using full ductility for low seismicity regions?
when using fully ductility for low seismic region, i just have some questions: for what seismicity region maps? and for what complex detailing requirement. just remembering me to my senior in past times, he scared since his 4 storey building collapse during seismic loads. the buildings are in areas of high seismicity regions. next time he designed a building will always using fully ductility wherever it's built although in low seismicity regions and still using unecesarry detailing, sometimes i think it's a like a barriers during constructions stages.
