Haunch Retrofitting of Deficient Beam-Column Joint

Retrofitting of Beam-Column Joint Using CFRP and Steel Plate

─This paper presents the retrofitting of beam-column joint using CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) and steel plate. This specimen was tested until failure up to 1.0% drift. This joint suffered severe damages and diagonal cracks at upper crack at upper column before retrofitted. CFRP were wrapped at corbel, bottom and top of the column. Steel plates with bonding were attached to the two bea...

Performance Evaluation and Strengthening of Deficient Beam-Column Sub-assemblages under Cyclic Loading

Behavior of Full-Scale Shear Deficient Corner RC Beam- Column Connections Retrofitted with CFRP Sheets

In moment resisting reinforced concrete framed buildings, corner joints are found at the roof level. These joints, if designed for gravity loads and are based on pre-seismic codes, may suffer substantial damage during earthquakes particularly under opening cycles, i.e. those causing flexural tension on the inside of the joint. Several techniques of repair and strengthening of reinforced concret...

The Behavior of Type of RC Column-to-Steel Beam Connections and Scrutiny Of Behavior Coefficients

(RCS) frames which are systems that dwell of concrete columns and steel beams , by optimizing the act of compressive strength of concrete and bending strength of steel due to not only a decrease in building weight in comparison to concrete structures but also having a better action in long spans frames . In this paper for analysis RCS behavior, a category of nonlinear Push Over analyses were ...

non-linear seismic behavior of concrete beam - column connections

a parametrik investigation was conducted to study the non-linear behavior of precast and cast-in-place reinforced concrete beam-column connections subjected to tabas seismic forces (1979). the behavior of these types of connections in a four stories structure with respect to strength, ductility , stiffness, and bond deterioration at the joint core are presented and discussed. calculation result...
