Abstract
Codes of practice of Europe and United States of America are shared with many countries in the world. In fields of civil and structural engineering, EN Eurocodes and ACI codes (American Concrete Institute) are commonly used and they have been constantly updated according to technology advancement of human beings. Many countries have adopted EN Eurocodes or ACI codes as their national codes.
The author would like to focus this study on the common construction problems in high rise buildings encountered in Vietnam, which deals with wide beam-column joints, beam-core wall joints, coupling beams and deep beams. These construction problems are first briefly described. The related seismic design and detailing are then compared and evaluated by using the EN 1998-1:2004 and ACI 318-08 codes. This study is expected to clarify some common mistakes and to improve the construction practice in Vietnam.
