Shaking table tests on the response of reinforced concrete frames with non-seismic detailing

Reinforced concrete frames constructed before the introduction of modern seismic codes have performed poorly during past earthquakes. Such frames have primarily been designed for gravity load effects, leading to light transverse reinforcement in the columns, unconfined beam-column joints, and genera...
