Abstract: Precast Steel-Reinforced Concrete (PSRC) structural frame systems for moment-resisting, comprised of Prefabricated Steel (S) girders and Precast Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) columns. This structural system has the advantage of inherent stiffness and damping during a seismic event. PSRC’s moment-resisting frame system is also known for its construction efficiency, lightweight, and low cost. Earlier investigations have demonstrated that PSRC systems are beneficial in designing and constructing buildings while maintaining sufficient strength and high ductility during seismic events. Despite extensive previous research, the use of the PSRC structural system in India remains limited. Previous studies have recognised the need to test comprehensive structural systems, both experimentally and analytically, to validate the knowledge collected to date and serve as evidence of concept for the PSRC moment-resisting frame system. This paper aims to increase recognition and adoption of the PSRC structural system as a viable alternative to traditional RCC lateral resisting systems. A shake-table test was conducted to evaluate the PSRC building performance during maximum considered earthquake events. A comparative study of the experimental and numerical results for the 1/4-scale building is presented.
