    The document specifies requirements for concrete and reinforcement strength in structures located in seismic zones 3 and 4. Concrete must have a minimum compressive strength of 21 MPa (3,000 psi) at 28 days. Reinforcement resisting earthquake forces must comply with ASTM A706 or A615 Grade 40 and 60 rebar if the actual yield strength does not exceed the specified yield strength by more than 124 MPa (18,000 psi) and the ratio of tensile to yield strength is at least 1.25. The yield strength of transverse and spiral reinforcement cannot exceed 420 MPa (60,000 psi).

    7.3.4.

    1 Specified compressive cylinder strength of concrete fcat 28 days, shall be not less than
    21 MPa (3,000 psi).
    7.3.5 Reinforcement in Members Resisting Earthquake Induced Forces
    Reinforcement resisting earthquake-induced flexural and axial forces in frame members and in
    structural wall boundary elements lying in seismic zones 3 and 4 shall comply with ASTM A706.
    ASTM A615, Grades 40 and 60 reinforcement, shall be permitted in these members if:
    (a) The actual yield strength based on mill tests does not exceed fy by more than 124 MPa
    (18,000 psi) retests shall not exceed this value by more than an additional 21 MPa (3,000 psi); and
    (b) The ratio of the actual tensile strength to the actual yield strength is not less than 1.25.
    The value of fyt for transverse reinforcement including spiral reinforcement shall not exceed 420
    MPa (60,000 psi)
