<p> A research program is presented for assessing the plastic
collapse load and incremental collapse load of reinforced concrete
frames. This investigation attempts to establish a range of validity
of simple plastic theory when applied to the under reinforced concrete
frames and to determine the sensitivity of such structures to
variable repeated loading. </p> <p> An experimental program was conducted on 4 reinforced
concrete frames and two reinforced concrete columns. Deflections and
strains of these models of nearly prototype size were measured and
compared with predicted values at critical cross-sections. </p> <p> Resulting conclusions and recommendations for further
research are made. </p> / Thesis / Master of Engineering (MEngr)
