This paper is in two sections. The senior author discusses in the first section the reasons for some of the revised provisions in the current Ministry of Works, Structural Design Office, Code of Practice for the design of buildings, while the junior author deals in the second part with the application of these provisions to a reinforced concrete shear core building. He presents methods of designing and detailing a core for ductility and the effect of incremental damage to the spandrels in a coupled shear wall are examined.

The results of tests on four beam-column joint specimens are reported. It is shown that a joint which contained bond plates to prevent a bond failure of the flexural reinforcement in the joint, and was proportioned to limit yielding of the steel in this zone, had a markedly superior performance to specimens designed to comply with the ACI-318-71 code,
or the proposals of May 1976 for the revision of the N.Z. Ministry of Works and Development code of practice for the design of public buildings (PW 81/10/1).

The paper by Elizabeth A. Mullen (1990) contains a number of assumptions and assertions that cannot be allowed to pass unchallenged. In addition, the survey itself seems to be based on an inappropriate sample with the particular interpretation of results creating a potentially false impression. The debate concerning the Code of Practice for Health and Safety Representatives and Health and Safety Committees has often been plagued with confusion and misunderstanding and, regrettably, Mullen's paper continues these problems.
