Abstract

The ultimate goal was to advance, through evaluation of present knowledge and of the results of new coordinated research, the states of the art and the practice in the earthquake-resistant design of high-rise reinforced concrete (RC) buildings. To achieve this goal, particular emphasis was placed on:
- identification of RC buildings systems which are particularly suitable for high-rise construction in seismic regions with soft-soil sites;
- evaluation of seismic response characteristics of these systems, considering linear and nonlinear responses;
- development of new computer programs for computer analysis of 3-D nonlinear responses;
- evaluation of recent developments in energy dissipation mechanisms for possible integration into these systems;
- use of high strength concrete (500 to 670 kg/cm2); and
- development of improved methods of preliminaiy design to enhance seismic performance of these systems.
