Assesment of confinement design provision of sni 2847 2013

In 2013, Indonesia has been published new reinforced concrete (RC) design code, which called SNI 2847 2013. This code improved the previous reinforced concrete provision. This standard also specified detailing for RC buildings in the high-risk earthquake region. For reinforced concrete columns at special moment resisting frame, transverse reinforcement is provided to allow column to have large deformation demand without degradation in lateral load resistance. In this study, the confinement design equations of SNI 2847 2013 are evaluated with column test data with several parameters. The result of study exhibited that this confinement design provisions are needed to improve.
