A short overview of reinforced concrete frame structure design methodology and problems

Reinforced concrete frame structure is a kind of seismic, wind resistance performance which is a decent structure with flexible building layout. It uses space, good ductility and other characteristics that are not only can meet the requirements of building to set up a large room, but also can reduce the weight of the building. It is obvious that concrete frame structure is widely used in modern industrial and civil buildings. Considering to mind public safety, people's property, and so on, the norm concerning design of structures that can withstand progressive collapse should be adopted early. Nevertheless, keeping in mind the mechanical qualities of steel in building material and effectiveness of concrete is different from the performance of European nations. European and American rules may not be employed directly to the design of home building constructions. This study proposes a critical short demonstration about reinforced concrete frame structure design methodology and problems
