Review of Design Provisions for Earthquake Resistance of RC Structures in Eurocode 8

RC 구조물에 대한 Eurocode 8의 내진설계 규준 검토

In this paper, the basic concepts and main characteristics in Eurocode 8, which deals with earthquake-resistant design, are reviewed regarding the design of reinforced concrete structures. Eurocode uses the limit-state design method to satisfy the requirements of safety and serviceability. This kind of information can serve to establish the up-coming Korean seismic code which is comprehensive and appropriate to the moderate seismicity region by constituting an important part in the basic data-pool.
