Abstract
Based on the review of seismic shear design provisions of Indian codes for reinforced concrete (RC) deep vertical members (i.e., bridge piers and structural walls) in a companion paper, basic provisions are identified for shear resistance of RC sections. Draft provisions are presented for the consideration of the relevant Indian design code committees on bridge and building. The best seismic design practices seem to suggest that these provisions will be beneficial for the seismic performance of deep RC vertical members.
