Concrete composition used in the panel zone of reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column
joints significantly influences the RC frame's seismic performance. Extensive experimental …

The ductility of bridge columns depends on the arrangement of dense hoops at the bottom of
column where the plastic hinge forms, but the concrete still experienced severe damage …

This paper presents experimental and analytical investigations carried out on RC beam–
column joints incorporating engineered cementitious composite (ECC) material in the beam …

Beam-column joint is a key part for reinforced concrete (RC) frame building structures under
the impact of severe lateral actions of seismic or wind loading. Prior works indicate that there …

Beam–column joints in existing concrete buildings might not satisfy the design requirements
for seismic reinforcement details specified in current seismic design codes. Thus, in this …

Highly ductile fiber-reinforced concrete (HDC) is a type of fiber-reinforced cement-based
composite material that is characterized by tensile strain-hardening behavior and the …

Exterior concrete beam-column connections are one of the important parts of the concrete
structural frames that play an important role in controlling the seismic behaviour of structures …

Reactive powder concrete (RPC) has an ultra-high bond strength with steel bars, which
offers new and innovative opportunities for precast concrete structures. This experimental …

A total of eight interior beam-column joints with high performance fiber-reinforced concrete
(HPFRC) were fabricated and tested to investigate their seismic behaviors in terms of failure …

This paper presents the results of an experimental and numerical study on strapping method
for retrofitting deficient interior RC beam-column joints, which do not meet the requirements …
