title = "Seismic Design Principles for Taiwan and Hong Kong"

content = """
Taiwan lies in an active seismic zone and requires rigorous seismic design. Hong Kong has lower seismicity but still experiences moderate earthquakes; recent codes have incorporated seismic provisions. The design philosophy is to ensure life safety: the structure may sustain damage but must not collapse.

Capacity design principles require that brittle failure modes be avoided; plastic hinges should form in ductile locations (e.g., beam ends rather than column bases). Reinforced concrete must have adequate confinement and detailing for ductility. Steel structures require proper connection design.

Seismic base shear is typically computed using equivalent lateral force or response spectrum methods. The reviewer must verify that the appropriate seismic zone or site-specific parameters have been used, and that drift and story drift limits are satisfied.
