The Algerian seismic code assumes that the beam-column joints in monolithic reinforced
concrete (RC) buildings are fully rigid. However, many experiments have proven the …

This paper addresses the analysis of planar frames with stiff semirigid joints. If they are stiff
enough, a concept which is discussed with respect to the local stiffness of the neighboring …

In general, conventional analysis and design of reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures
overlook the role of beamcolumn (RCBC) joints. Nowadays, the rigid joint model is one of …

An extended parametric study based on nonlinear finite element analyses is performed to
assess the key factors affecting the shear behaviour of exterior beam-column joints of …

The behaviour of reinforced concrete beam‐column (RCBC) joints may have an important
influence on the structural behaviour of unbraced framed structures—this explains why …

Reinforced concrete beam-column (RCBC) joints of laterally loaded unbraced frames are
sometimes controlled by their shear behavior. This behavior relies on multiple and …

A flexibilidade das ligações viga-pilar em estruturas porticadas de betão armado pode
conduzir a um agravamento significativo da flexibilidade global de estruturas não …
