- Synopsis
- Architectural Institute of Japan (AIJ) revised the Standard for Structural Calculation of Steel Reinforced Concrete Structures (SRC Standards) in 2014. This revision, which is based on the contents of the existing SRC standard, maintains it's investigation framework for allowable stress based design and horizontal load bearing capacity. The main revisions this time are the revision of the provisions concerning design methods for column bases and wall members, the indication of the restoring force characteristics and deformation capacity of members for which flexural failure dominates, and the removal of provisions concerning concrete-filled steel tube structures. No substantial revisions have been made besides those for column bases and wall members. However, recent research findings have been incorporated in the explanations, along with adjustments for the sake of consistency with revised specifications, criteria and guidelines related to SCR standards. This report provides an overview of the resulting revised SRC standard.
