Outlines contemporary seismic design strategies for reinforced concrete buildings, focusing on achieving controlled inelastic response during earthquakes. The text details the fundamental philosophy of capacity design, which prioritizes structural ductility and energy dissipation over simple elastic resistance to avoid catastrophic failure. It provides a comprehensive comparative analysis of regulatory frameworks from several regions, including New Zealand, the United States, Japan, and Europe (
