This paper is reproduced from the proceedings of a seminar on "Seismic Problems in Structural Engineering" arranged by the Departments of Civil Engineering and Extension Studies of the University of Canterbury, and held in Christchurch from May 13 
to 16, 1968. Another paper from that seminar, also published 
in this issue of the Bulletin, discusses requirements for ductility in reinforced concrete structures. The present 
paper makes a comparison of prestressed concrete with reinforced concrete, and discusses the factors to be considered 
in the design of prestressed structures for earthquake resistance.

The seismic resistance of prestressed concrete is receiving attention frcm code writers as a result of the research being done on this subject both overseas and in New Zealand. Of particular interest are the activities of the Seismic Commission of the Federation International de Precontrainte (F.I.P.) which reviews information collected from the various parts of the world. The Commission's document "General Principles of Earthquake Resistant Design of Prestressed Concrete Structures” was presented at the Vth Congress of the F.I.P. (Paris, 1966). It is at present being revised for presentation at the VIth F.I.P, Congress, Prague 1970. Drafts of this report are currently being circulated to F.I.P. Seismic Commission members for comment.
