Some codes(e.g.,CSA 1994)refrain from promoting the SCWB(Strong-Column/Weak Beam) philosophy out of concern that the capacity design approach is difficult to implement in low-rise building and hard to justify in zones of moderate and low seismicity.

• 一些规范尽量避免推广SCWB的理念，考虑到在低层建筑中承载力设计方法难以实施，而且在中低地震区该方法的合理性很难证明。
