This document discusses limitations in earthquake resistant structure design and provides feedback to overcome these limitations. Specifically, it addresses:
1. Limitations in design software to fully analyze critical load cases and proposes improving software to automatically consider various live load positions.
2. Benefits of using mild steel over high-strength steel in terms of ductility, cost, and earthquake performance and recommends increasing mild steel use.
3. Replacing binding wires with welding of reinforcing bars to improve strength transfer and lifespan of reinforced concrete structures.
It concludes that addressing these limitations could increase safety, save lives, and boost the economy by improving structure performance in earthquakes.
