Most experimental research on composite steel concrete moment frames corresponds to situations of vertical loading. Under horizontal loading like earthquakes, positive bending moments can appear at the beam ends. To solve seismic design issues, a research effort has been promoted by the European Union. It involves experimental activity in several large European testing installations which are described and numerical model studies.
