  • Abstract
By the way of experiment and analysis of two "one story and one bay" reinforced concrete frames, namely a "beam with weaker column" frame and a "column with equally strong beam" frame, the features of internal force redistribution are investigated and an elementary comparison about bending moment redistribution of three kinds of frames namely the "column with weaker beam", "beam with weaker column" and "column with equally strong beam" is given. Through this comparison, the objective existence of such "three kinds of frame" is proven, the moment redistribution is different for each frame and for the moment modulation, the elastic moment diagram and the difference of the internal force redistribution in different frames should be considered together.
