Abstract

The seismic hazard of Korea is briefly described. The seismic design requirements design earthquake levels and design response spectrum that are going to be adopted in the future code system are introduced. Characteristics of ground motion and seismic responses of structures in low to moderate seismicity regions are briefly described. The concept of limited ductility design that seems appropriate for the seismic design in Korea is explained.
