This thesis investigates the dynamic responses of four single.floor.two.bays RC frames and a two.story.one.bay RC frame by shake table test. The nonlinear dynamic history analyses are also performed and compared with the results obtained from shake table tests. In the shake table test, the input ground motions are the acceleration time histories that recorded at the 921 Ji.Ji earthquake. The story drift, roof acceleration and some dynamic responses of the tested frames are measured and the dynamic properties of tested frames have discussed in this study. In the numerical simulation, the finite element analysis programs Sap2000 with the Takeda hysteresis model have adopted as the analysis tool for analyzing the non.linear behaviors of the tested RC frames. From the comparison of analyzed results with those tested results, show that the modeling methodology proposed in this research can actually simulate the damage conditions and drift ratio of the RC frames structures under earthquake excitations.
