This research focuses upon the seismic assessment of gravity designed frame. We frequently see that thestructures around us are designed for gravity loads only neglecting lateral or seismic loads. This results in seriousdamages to the buildings in cases of earthquakes. Our research comprises of a model that is designed for gravity loadsand is tested for lateral and seismic loads to see for the deficiencies found in the structure against seismic loads. Alsodata is being noted and analyzed to see for future betterment prospects. Shake table testing is being conducted for theproduction of seismic loads and data noted and processed in terms of base shear and roof displacement to construct acapacity curve that may serve as a reference for future work to be executed with standard curves for differentconstructions and localities.
