Abstract
ACI Committee 133, Disaster Reconnaissance, was established to report on the effects of major disasters on concrete construction worldwide and to identify potential design issues requiring code changes. The committee's work has been described by Laughery et al. Previous reconnaissance completed or supported by the committee includes Shah et al, Abrahamczyk et al, Sim et al, Villalobos et al, Alcocer et al, and Pujol et al. The latest reconnaissance effort was completed after the Pazarcik and Elbistan Turkey Earthquake Sequence of 2023. The implications of the latest field observations, as informed by previous data, are discussed in relation to the future of reinforced concrete (RC) practice. A historical background is provided first to support the discussion that follows.
