Abstract
The paper reviews seismic behaviour and performance of reinforced concrete (RC) deep vertical members, particularly bridge piers and structural walls. The provisions of the relevant Indian codes of practice, concerning shear strength and shear demand in these members, are reviewed in light of the provisions of international codes of practice. The deficiencies are identified in the seismic shear design philosophy, prescribed by Indian codes.
