 DESIGN PHILOSOPHY 2
 The design philosophy in IS 13920:2016 emphasizes the ductile behavior of
reinforced concrete structures during seismic events
 It focuses on providing adequate strength, deformation capacity, and energy
dissipation to ensure the structure can withstand seismic forces
 Structures designed using ductile detailing principles exhibit redundancy and
ductility
 Redundancy - provision of multiple load paths, ensuring the failure of a single
component does not lead to sudden collapse
 Ductility is the ability of the structure to undergo significant deformation 3
before failure
 Providing warning signs and allowing occupants to evacuate safely
 Design philosophy emphasizes controlling the strength and stiffness of
structural members
 By limiting the strength and stiffness of individual components, the
potential for sudden and brittle failure is reduced
 Instead, the structure is designed to deform in a controlled and predictable
manner
SEISMIC ZONE CLASSIFICATION 4
 The standard classifies the Indian subcontinent into different seismic zones
based on the intensity of ground motion
 The seismic zone determines the design parameters and requirements for ductile
detailing
• Zone II - structures can be made as OMRF (Ordinary Moment Resisting Frame)
• Zone III - important structures and more than 5 storied buildings require ductile
detailing
• Zone IV and V - ductile detailing is must

 REINFORCEMENT DETAILS 6

 It emphasizes the use of proper reinforcement arrangements are
provided such as,
► Longitudinal reinforcement
► Transverse reinforcement
► Proper lap lengths
► Anchorage lengths
► Development lengths

 Longitudinal reinforcement improves ductility by preventing premature shear
failures restraining compression reinforcement against buckling

of a R.C. beam
 Ductility increases with increase in compression steel
