Abstract

Current ACI and AIJ guidelines only address the importance of the concrete strength and geometry of the joint. There are no significant attention paid to other variables. In addition, the current design code doesn't predict the ductility of the beam-column assemblies. The former researcher proposed the analytical model to predict the shear strength of the joint panel as well as the ductility of the beam-column assemblies in year 2004. In this study, the experiments to investigate shear behavior of reinforced concrete beam-column joints and to verify proposed model were carried out, based on the experimental results. As the formal researcher proposed, the factor K (K=0.5), the ductility of BJ-failure was predicted reasonably when the transverse reinforcement ratio exceeded 0.0186. However, the proposed equation showed a large discrepancies in the ductility estimating when transverse reinforcement ratio was below 0.0186.
