This paper presents research carried out on damaged reinforced concrete structure using forced vibrationtechnique. Half scaled model of reinforced concrete special moment resisting frame (SMRF) was investigated, which wasdesigned as per Building Code of Pakistan for seismic zone 4. This structure has been tested already dynamically thatcaused minor damage in the structure columns. The present study now focusses on measuring the dynamiccharacteristics of damaged reinforced concrete structure in order to understand how the pre-existing cracks and damagein the structure affects the elastic dynamic properties (frequency and elastic damping).
