Lateral-load resisting systems of many reinforced concrete buildings are comprised of members failing in both shear and flexure such as shear walls and frames. The main purpose of this study is to develop a hysteresis model of reinforced concrete members controlled by both shear and flexure. In this paper, the structural nonlinear behavior including relationships between lateral load and deflection of reinforced concrete members controlled by both shear and flexure is investigated based on a laboratory test. The result of this paper will provide fundamental information in proposal of hysteresis characteristics to evaluate seismic capacity of reinforced concrete buildings comprised of members failing in both shear and flexure.
