Abstract

The seismic response of reinforced concrete (RC) structures, to a great extent, depends upon the ductile
detailing of the reinforcement. The Indian Standard IS: 13920 pertains to the ductile detailing aspect of reinforcement in
RC structures. The code IS: 13920 has been recently revised. The modifications in the provisions of this standard have
been reviewed and discussed in this study in two parts. The part 1 included the modifications in the scope, terminology,
general specifications, adjunct standards and the provisions related to beams and columns. This part 2 of the study
includes the details of modifications in the provisions related to special confining reinforcement, beam column joints,
special shear walls and gravity columns.
