Beam-Column Timber Joint Connection Behavior Due to Nail and Modified-Washer Reinforcement Tests

Performance of the Modified Precast Beam to Column Connection Placed on a Concrete Corbel

Precast concrete structures in Iran are generally designed as continuous columns with hinged beams, thereby making them simple frames. In this system in site show walls in two directions of buildings guaranteed lateral resisting system. However, in order to obtain a seismic resisting frame, the connection between beam and column should be moment resisting and ductile, allowing the formation of ...

Behavior of Composite Timber-Concrete Beam with CFRP Reinforcement

Tests to Determine the Joint Stiffness and Resisting Moment Capacity of Joints in Timber-Framed Houses

Wind and earthquake disasters in the world often cause billions of dollars of damage to buildings, most of which is to non-engineered buildings-especially homes. Wood-frame homes use connectors which exhibit partial rotational rigidity at the member ends, making analytical solutions difficult. This is due to the lack of information about the complex behavior of the connections used in this type...

Modified Bouc-Wen model for hysteresis behavior of RC beam-column joints with limited transverse reinforcement

An analytical approach based on modified Bouc-Wen-Baber-Noori model has been proposed in this paper for predicting the hysteresis behavior of reinforced concrete beamcolumn joints with limited transverse reinforcement. The analytical model presented in this research is able to capture the characteristics of non-seismic detailed beam-column joints such as stiffness and strength degradation and p...

Seismic Behavior of Prefabricated Column-Footing Connection

Results of an experimental investigation of the seismic performance of prefabricated column-footing connections are presented. Tests were conducted on six 1/4-scale prefabricated column specimens inserted into prefabricated footings in two Groups. Group-1 consisted of four specimens, which were tested under constant axial load and cyclic inelastic lateral displacements. The remaining two specim...
