could be reduced. Confining the full height of the first floor
columns could be unnecessary.
4. The beams experienced significant vertical deflections
during the tests. Current Canadian seismic provisions should
address the vertical deflections of beams during earthquakes.
Positive plastic hinging can occur along the beam spans and
trigger a shake down phenomenon.
5. The lateral stiffness of each structure had reduced by
more than 75% at the end of the seismic tests. Procedures to
quickly estimate the residual stiffness of buildings after the
main shock of an earthquake are urgently needed to predict
their responses to aftershocks or future earthquakes.

and a scholarship in support of this project. The assistance of
Dr. Marc Savard of the Quebec Ministry of Transportation,
which supplied a data acquisition system, is also gratefully
acknowledged. The authors wish to express their appreciation
to Anne Blanger, Marie-Claude Janelle, Nick Laganire, Luc-
Andr Taillon, Sylvain Bdard, and Philippe Morin, all under-
graduate research assistants, for their contributions to the
experimental part of the project. Finally, the technical staff of
the Structures Laboratory at cole Polytechnique is sincerely
acknowledged for its invaluable assistance.
