        abstract = {A reinforced concrete building is to be designed in such a way that it should remain safe and suffers no damage during an earthquake. It has been observed, that the main reason for the failure of a building is, columns do not possess sufficient strength carrying capacity. Therefore, it becomes necessary to provide vertical members strong to achieve proper design standards. In capacity design concept, the vertical members are designed stronger than horizontal members. A structure designed with capacity design method does not provide any suitable failure mechanism. In the capacity design of earthquake resisting structures, elements of primary lateral load resisting system are chosen suitably and designed and detailed for energy dissipation under severe inelastic deformation.},
