Abstract
In order to observe the interaction of structural elements at the onset of collapse, four frame specimens were tested at the National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering (NCREE) in Taiwan in spring 2009. Each specimen consisted of a 1/2.25 scaled model of a two-bay and two-story reinforced concrete frame. The specimens were tested under moderate and high gravity loads to investigate the influence of axial loads on the collapse vulnerability of the structures. These tests will also be employed to study the interaction of the beams, columns and joints as collapse is initiated. The current paper presents the observations during the tests and comparison of the behavior of the frame specimens.
