AB  - This  study  gives the comparative  study  of  the  behaviour  of two  bay two storey Reinforced Concrete Frames with slabs of 1/8 scale dimension using SIFCON  in the beam column joint region and in the plastic hinge location adjacent to the joint  and the conventional Reinforced Concrete Frame with slab. SIFCON is used in the parts of the structure where its  properties are desirable such as beam column joints and in the plastic hinge locations adjacent to the joint. The specimens were subjected to lateral reversed cyclic load at the top storey. The displacement of the top storey, stiffness, ductility and energy absorption capacity were discussed. The results have shown that the SIFCON specimens performance were far better than conventional specimens.
