Buildings in section Earthquake Resistant Buildings of Construction & Building Materials

Answer»

Correct option is (b) False

Best EXPLANATION: It is desirable to DESIGN the RC frame in a way that the plastic HINGES are formed in the beams than in the COLUMNS. This is because only localized failure takes place due to the collapse of a beam while due to the collapse of a column, global failure OCCURS.
