Abstract
After briefly reviewing the need for earthquake resistant construction in Canada, this paper summarizes the development of the Canadian code provisions for seismic design 'loads.' Canadian code provisions for detailing earthquake resistant concrete buildings and the manner in which some of these provisions are applied in practice are then described. A statement of the specific Canadian problems that still need to be solved conclude the paper.
