Does anybody know the gap of knowledge of this philosophy?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: design capacity philosophy for RC buildings under earthquake movement
For me, i find this philosophy a much more rational way to design concrete buildings, since you have the control of where the plastic hinges in the structure will form, and the method gives you the guidelines to detail these plastic hinge regions. Also you have control of the failure mode of the whole building.
I hope ive been helpful to you
best regards
