The purpose of this study is to experimentally analyze the seismic performance of beam-column specimens with vertical irregular, which were reinforced with RHS (Replaceable steel haunch system). a steel haunch system. To evaluate the seismic performance of the RHS, three specimens were manufactured and subjected to cycle loading tests. Retrofitted specimens have different beam-upper column stiffness ratio as a variable. The stiffness ratio of beam-upper column were considered to be 1.2 and 0.84. As a result of the test, the specimen reinforced with RHS showed improved maximum load and effective stiffness, and energy dissipation capacity compared to the non-retrofitted specimen with same beam-upper column stiffness ratio. The specimen with 0.84 beam-upper column stiffness ratio showed improved performance than the specimen with 12.

In this stydy, experimental research was carried out the hysteretic behavior of reinforced concrete haunched beams such as application with or without haunched. Test results showed that test specimens(FTH) was increased respectively the maximum load carrying capacity by positive 18%, negative 29% in comparison with the specimens(FTG). And the specimens(FTH) showed stable hysteretic behavior compared to the specimen(FTG)
