MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631043547 A) filed by Dr. Sudhir Chandra Sur Institute Of Technology and Sports Complex, Kolkata, West Bengal, on April 6, for 'adaptive load-responsive reinforced concrete design system with zoned reinforcement configuration and a method thereof.'
Inventor(s) include Baibaswata Das; Krishnendu Kundu; Souradeep Roy; Debargha Banerjee; and Dr. Saradindu Panda.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention pertains to an adaptive reinforced concrete (RCC) design system in which the reinforcement arrangement within structural components is deliberately zoned and designed to respond incrementally to varying load conditions. The invention offers a load-responsive RCC design methodology that integrates primary, adaptive, and transition reinforcement zones within concrete elements, including beams, columns, slabs, shear walls, and footings. The system allows for controlled cracking, better ductility, better energy dissipation, and better use of materials without the need for smart materials, sensors, or external control systems. The invention also describes a way to design and detail reinforcement that works with Indian design codes. This makes structures safer and better able to handle service loads, overloads, and extreme loading conditions like earthquakes."
