The followings are the major aspect of the strong column and weak beam concept, as

follows :

1-The overall structure is designed so it can develop inelastic structural behavior.

2-Column is designed stronger than beam it means during strong earthquake column
member remain elastic so it can provide stability and strength of the stories above .

3-The development of plastic hinge is forms at the end of beam , so the energy dissipation
is occurs in the plastic hinge.

4-To ensure the perfect energy dissipation at plastic hinge, plastic hinge regionrequired
special reinforcement detailing (confinement) to improve ductility, energy absorption capacity
and perform inelasticity . *In the strong column and weak beam concept the beam is
permitted to yields but the column remains elastic , The behavior of reinforced concrete
beam is more ductile than the reinforcedconcrete column, so it is safer to design the location
of plastic hinge forms at the end of beam rather at the column .

Moreover, the beams are genarally used to face bending force and columns are
used to face axial load. as the seismic load comes parallely with respect to earth
surface. so the column faces the load pependicularly which is very risky for the
column. after that load gets distributed to all the beams. for this reason columns
must be strong to make the structure more earth quake resistant.
if we dont make the column strong enough it will collapse by the time the seismic
load is transferred into the beams
