Parametric investigation of 3D RC beam-column joint mechanics

摘要

This paper presents the experimental and numerical findings of interior and exterior beam-column-slab joints under cyclic lateral loading in two orthogonal directions. Two full-scale interior and one exterior beam-column joint assemblies incorporating floor slabs were subjected to quasi-static cyclic loading and zero column axial loads. The test results from these three models, designed according to building code provisions for ductile moment-resisting frames, were satisfactory in terms of stren
