EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT
DESIGN
Earthquake Engineering and Plastic Design
◦ Strength – the structure must have the ability to carry or resist the
earthquake forces without failure.
◦ Ductility – the structure must have the ability to deform past the
elastic range without failure to dissipate the energy induced by
the earthquake.
