There were no floor slabs in the models. The first model, NS1, contained beam, column, and wall reinforcement equivalent to that of the comparable elements in the full-scale structure.

The measured shear and moment capacities of the structures were nearly twice those calculated from a planar analysis. This increase in capacity was due to three-dimensional interaction.
