Learning objectives
In this lesson
- Capacity design turns mechanism into protected actions.
- Drawings must express analytical intent.
Engineering explanation
Steps 11–14: select the intended dissipative mechanism and protected actions; verify members using applicable material and seismic provisions; translate the mechanism into critical-region, confinement, anchorage, shear and interface details; reconcile calculations, model, drawings, specifications and review comments. A reviewer must trace each important result to an input, assumption, model decision and applicable source. Unresolved National Annex choices, edition-dependent criteria and constructability conflicts remain open actions, never silent assumptions.
Key takeaways
What to carry forward
- Capacity design turns mechanism into protected actions.
- Drawings must express analytical intent.
- Independent review verifies traceability.
