This paper presents a comparative test of models of self‐controlled and ordinary frames on the shaking table. Two tested 1/8‐scale models of 4‐storey and single‐bay RC frames made of cement mortar and reinforced with wires were poured on the same base beam. The dynamic characteristics and earthquake responses in the elastic, cracked and failed stages and the failure modes of these two kinds of frame are studied. It is proved that the seismic behaviour of the self‐controlled frame is better than that of the ordinary frame.
