This document summarizes key requirements for ductile detailing of reinforced concrete structures according to IS 13920:2016. It discusses the importance of ductility in allowing structures to resist seismic forces through inelastic deformation without collapse. Requirements are provided for ductile detailing of beams and columns, including minimum steel grades, reinforcement ratios and spacing, hook and lap splice details, and confinement reinforcement. The goal of ductile detailing is to avoid brittle failures and ensure ductile behavior through controlled yielding of steel reinforcement.
