Common construction practice before modern seismic design codes appeared allowed designing columns lap splices located above the slab in each floor or above the foundation. The lack of lap splices and the shear reinforcement was in the form of stirrups with 90-degree bends and spaced at half the depth of the frame member. As a result, the section at the base of these columns is unconfined and susceptible to shear failure or to a premature failure of the lap splices before yielding of the longitudinal bars. The masonry infill walls used as partitions were often ignored by design engineers since such walls were considered as nonstructural architectural elements. However, lessons learned from past earthquakes and from several tests performed h...
