TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe how, after the Hanshin-Awaji earthquake, the volume of lateral reinforcement used in reinforced concrete structures in Japan was increased in order to improve seismic performance.
Abstract: This paper describes how, after the Hanshin-Awaji earthquake, the volume of lateral reinforcement used in reinforced concrete structures in Japan was increased in order to improve seismic performance. Although a large volume of closely spaced lateral reinforcement will be effective in preventing elastic buckling of the longitudinal reinforcement, it does not prevent plastic buckling. Under severe earthquake loading, longitudinal reinforcement will be subjected to large reversed-cyclic deformation demands into the plastic regime in tension and the buckling regime in compression. The paper presents the results of low cycle fatigue testing of deformed bars and examination of failure criteria for these bars.

TL;DR: In this paper, the elastoplastic response of different steel beams in three-point bending, under monotonic and cyclic loads, is investigated through experimental tests and theoretical analysis to investigate their efficacy to be used as fuses in an innovative bracing system.
