Reinforced cement concrete (RCC) structures are designed with concrete taking only compression and steelreinforcement designed to take the tension. Hence for the enhanced seismic performance of these structures, ductile detailingof the steel reinforcement is necessary. The Indian Standard IS: 13920 - 1993 catered to the provisions for ductile detailingof RC structures subject to seismic forces, in India so far. The unsatisfactory performance of RC structures in earthquakesafter 1993 developed the need to revise the existing provisions of seismic design and detailing. Hence led to the revision ofthe relevant codes. Following the series of revision of codes IS: 13920 has been revised recently to IS: 13920-2016. Thiscode is mandatory for seismic resistant design in seismic zones III, IV and V. A study has been made to review the codalprovisions of the revised code IS: 13920-2016, the modifications in the provisions have been described and detailed alongwith the reasons of modifying the provisions.
