In this study, a new strengthening alternative for RC structures, namely wing type steel frames, has been experimentally investigated under reversed cyclic loading. It has been observed that the usage of wing type steel frames considerably improve the capacity and sway stiffness of RC structures.

Many existing RC Buildings were built before the seismic code was established, they need seismic retrofit performance. In this study, presents the evaluations of seismic performance and displacement ductility for two type RC Frames : existing RC frame without SRF(Super Reinforcement with Flexibility) and RC frames strengthened with SRF.
