Raza (2020) employed experimental, numerical and empirical methods to develop a fundamental understanding of the collapse behaviour of limited ductile high-strength reinforced concrete columns, designed as per Australian concrete standard, under multidirectional earthquake loading. The adequacy of the requirements of the concrete design standard in Australia was assessed and adequate design recommendations were proposed to ensure collapse prevention of such columns in a major earthquake event. The research outcomes are expected to have important implications for the earthquake safety of building stocks in Australia and globally.
