The performance of rehabilitated reinforced concrete beam-column joints was compared
with the response of existing joints designed to preseismic codes to assess proposed …

The latest report by Joint ACI-ASCE Committee 352 (ACI 352R-02) states that joints in
structures built before the development of current design guidelines need to be studied in …

This paper describes an experimental study of beam-column joints in frames common in
preseismic code/gravity-designed reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings. Exterior RC …

Two series of tests of exterior beam-column joints were conducted. In the first series of tests,
the longitudinal reinforcement of the beam was anchored in the joint with 90-degree hooks …

Two test series were conducted to determine the effectiveness of UNIDO Manual guidelines
for repair and strengthening of beam column joints damaged by severe earthquakes. Two …

To prevent the casualties that can result from the collapse of earthquake-damaged
structures, it is important that structures be rehabilitated as soon as possible. This paper …

Beam-column joints are important components of the seismic-force-resisting system in
reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings. A majority of older buildings have serious …

Techniques for upgrading reinforced concrete beam–column joints are proposed. The test
specimens represent a typical joint that was built in accordance to pre-1970s' codes. The …

In this paper, the efficiency and effectiveness of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP)
sheets for upgrading the shear strength and ductility of a seismically deficient exterior beam …

Simulated seismic load tests on reinforced concrete one-way interior and exterior beam-
column joints with substandard reinforcing details typical of buildings constructed before the …
