This paper is intended to examine the efficiency of utilizing FRP composite material with an externally bonded technique in enhancing behavior damaged B-C joints and controlling their failure mode using NLFEA approach. At first, modeled Beam-Column joint was validated as per previously-attained experimentally-attained results. Later, model widened experiment impact axial-column load concrete co...

This paper focuses on the evaluation of bi-axial shear demand for reinforced concrete (RC) beam–column joints assuming: (i) SPEAR frame as a benchmark; and (ii) different structural analysis methods which share same seismic input. A numerical model was implemented using lumped plasticity. The were modeled rigid offsets beams columns. at joint is evaluated post-process beam’s nodal moment. discu...

The behaviour of beam-column joint plays an important role in the response of a steel moment resisting framed structure especially under seismic excitation. Semi rigid connections like bolted joints, allow better energy dissipation and provide good response under lateral loads. In this paper the ductility and energy dissipation characteristics of semi rigid bolted connections using double web a...
