A computer program has been developed to prediet the behavior of high strength reinforced concrete frames subjected to cyclic
loading. The computer program used to simulate the numerical solution is coded in basic language using effective stiffltess
method with successive iterations. The nonlinear cyclic behavior of high strength concrete and steel-was considered using the
layered approach for section analysis. Dumping ratio of such frames was also evaluated showing the advantage sf HSC for
energy absorption.
