Finite Element Analysis of RC Beam-Column Connections Subjected to Seismic Loading

摘要

Comparing the FE analyses with the experimental results, a common agreement between them were observed. The following are the most important conclusions:1. The load-story drift relationships were well reproduced by FE analyses for the investigated models.2. With respect to the deformation of the joint panel, a good agreement was observed between FE analyses and previous experiments.3. The parabolic compressive model was applicable for all models, but thorenfeldt model was suitable only for the models which ware not railed by crushing of concrete.
