Modern structural engineering cannot ignore the effects of seismic activity. The later editions, including the 6th, place a heavier emphasis on lateral force-resisting systems and the design of structures in seismic regions. Furthermore, the treatment of composite construction—where steel beams interact with concrete slabs—is presented with greater depth, reflecting the prevalence of this construction method in modern high-rises.
