This presentation elucidates the seismic behaviour of beam-column joint and some methods to improve the resistance of beam-column joints to seismic loads to avoid disasters.
- Beam-column joints are the weakest points in reinforced concrete frames during earthquakes due to stresses that cause cracking and failure. There are two main types of failure: shear and anchorage.
- Proper design of beam-column joints including use of closed loop ties, intermediate bars, wider columns, and straight beam bars inserted into the column improves earthquake resistance by resisting distortion and improving concrete confinement.
- Innovative techniques for strengthening joints include fiber reinforced concrete and FRP wrapping to prevent cracking and increase strength. Well designed joints are crucial to avoiding damage during seismic activity.

The document outlines a presentation on retrofitting concrete structures. It discusses two approaches to retrofitting: global (system) strengthening which adds new elements to enhance stiffness, and local (element) strengthening which targets insufficient member capacities. Examples of global retrofitting mentioned include adding reinforced concrete shear walls and buckling restrained braces. Local retrofitting examples discussed are reinforcement concrete jacketing of columns and beams.
The document discusses reinforced cement concrete (RCC) structures. It describes two types of building structures - load bearing, where walls transmit loads directly to the ground, and framed structures, where loads are transferred through RCC beams, columns, and slabs. It also discusses design loads on buildings including dead loads from structural weight and live loads. Common RCC structural elements like beams, slabs, shear walls and elevator shafts are described. Raw materials, advantages, specifications, common ratios, one-way and two-way slabs, and examples of RCC structures are covered.
This document discusses column jacketing, which is a method of retrofitting and strengthening existing columns. It involves adding reinforced concrete, steel, or fiber-reinforced polymer around the column. The key steps are preparing the column surface, adding shear keys and reinforcement, applying a bonding agent, and casting the new concrete or installing the jacket. Column jacketing increases the strength and seismic capacity of the column. It improves confinement and increases axial, shear, and foundation load capacity without significant weight addition.
This document discusses concrete distress, its causes, and concrete repair systems. It defines distress as damage to concrete that can occur during production or service life due to varying conditions. Common causes of distress include structural loads, errors in design and construction, drying shrinkage, corrosion, and deterioration over time from chemical reactions, freezing/thawing, or weathering. Proper concrete repair requires determining the cause of damage, evaluating its extent, selecting repair methods, preparing the surface, applying repair materials, and curing. Durable repairs depend on high quality workmanship and materials to ensure the repair is well-bonded and resistant to future distress.
This document summarizes techniques for seismic retrofitting of existing structures. It defines seismic retrofitting as modifying structures to make them more resistant to earthquakes. Common retrofitting techniques discussed include adding new shear walls, steel bracing, jacketing columns and beams, using innovative materials like fiber reinforced polymers, base isolation using elastomeric bearings or sliding systems, and installing seismic dampers. The document also discusses retrofitting performance objectives, codes and guidelines, and provides examples of retrofitted structures.
A continuous beam has more than one span carried by multiple supports. It is commonly used in bridge construction since simple beams cannot support large spans without requiring greater strength and stiffness. Continuous prestressed concrete beams provide adequate strength and stiffness while allowing for redistribution of moments, resulting in higher load capacity, reduced deflections, and more evenly distributed bending moments compared to equivalent simple beams. Analysis of continuous beams requires determining primary moments from prestressing, secondary moments induced by support reactions, and the combined resultant moments.
This document discusses retrofitting of structures. Retrofitting is required when structures are damaged or do not meet current seismic standards. It summarizes various retrofitting techniques such as adding shear walls, infill walls, steel bracing, wall thickening, wing walls, mass reduction, base isolation, and jacketing structural elements. It provides examples of existing retrofitted structures in Gujarat. Retrofitting increases strength and ductility but can reduce space and increase foundation loads. Materials discussed include steel, fiber reinforced polymer, and reinforced concrete.

Base isolation is a seismic protection system that separates a structure from its foundation, allowing the structure to remain largely motionless during an earthquake by absorbing shock through devices like friction pendulums and elastomeric bearings. There are various types of base isolators including low-damping rubber bearings, lead-rubber bearings, and sliding systems. Base isolation is most suitable for low to medium-rise buildings founded on firm soil, as it reduces seismic forces and prevents damage by permitting the ground and structure to move independently.
DESTRUCTIVE AND NON-DESTRUCTIVE TEST OF CONCRETEKaran Patel
The standard method of evaluating the quality of concrete in buildings or structures is to test specimens cast simultaneously for compressive, flexural and tensile strengths.
The main disadvantages are that results are not obtained immediately; that concrete in specimens may differ from that in the actual structure as a result of different curing and compaction conditions; and that strength properties of a concrete specimen depend on its size and shape.
Although there can be no direct measurement of the strength properties of structural concrete for the simple reason that strength determination involves destructive stresses, several non- destructive methods of assessment have been developed.
This document summarizes techniques for earthquake resistant building construction. It discusses how earthquake resistant buildings differ from traditional buildings in their design. Some techniques discussed include using reinforced hollow concrete block masonry, which uses reinforced blocks as load-bearing walls and shear walls. Mid-level isolation is described as installing base isolation systems on intermediate floors of existing buildings. Slurry infiltrated mat concrete is presented as a new type of concrete being developed to prevent building collapse. Traditional earthquake resistant housing styles from various regions of India are also overviewed.
The document discusses proper detailing of reinforced concrete structures, which is essential for safety and structural performance. It provides guidelines and examples of good and bad detailing practices for common reinforced concrete elements like slabs, beams, columns, and foundations. Proper detailing is important to avoid construction errors and ensure the structural design works as intended under gravity and seismic loads.
This document discusses the design and construction of a post-tensioned concrete slab. It begins with objectives to summarize experience with post-tensioning in building construction and discuss design and construction of post-tensioned flat slab structures. It then provides details on prestressed concrete principles, design of the PT slabs including thickness determination and prestress calculations, and execution steps like formwork, concrete pouring, prestressing, and grouting. Post-tensioning offers advantages over reinforced concrete like longer spans, thinner slabs, and improved seismic performance.
This document summarizes earthquake resistant techniques. It discusses conventional methods like strengthening buildings through stiffness and ductility. Advanced methods of base isolation and energy dissipation devices are explained. Case studies on buildings like Torre Mayor and Transamerica Pyramid are provided. Techniques under research like shape memory alloys, mussel fibers, visco-elastic dampers and rubber cloaking are outlined. Seismic zones and codes in India are briefly covered along with references.
Seismic retrofitting is the modification of existing structures to make them more resistant to seismic activity, ground motion, or soil failure due to earthquakes.
This document discusses various techniques for repairing and rehabilitating concrete structures. It covers topics such as concrete deterioration mechanisms, materials used for repair like cement mortars and polymers, and techniques like grouting, jacketing, and external bonding. Assessment of damaged structures involves preliminary investigation, detailed investigation using techniques like core cutting, rebar location, corrosion measurement, and pull-out tests to determine repair requirements. Underwater repair of structures also requires special considerations and techniques.

Shear walls are vertical reinforced concrete walls that resist lateral forces like wind and earthquakes. They provide strength and stiffness to control lateral building movement. Shear walls are classified into different types including simple rectangular, coupled, rigid frame, framed with infill, column supported, and core type walls. Design of shear walls involves reviewing the building layout, determining loads, estimating earthquake forces, analyzing the structural system, and designing for flexural and shear strengths with proper reinforcement detailing. The behavior of shear walls under seismic loading depends on their height to width ratio, with squat walls experiencing more shear deformation and slender walls undergoing primarily bending deformation.
Review paper on seismic responses of multistored rcc building with mass irreg...eSAT Journals
Abstract
From past earthquakes it is proved that many of structure are totally or partially damaged due to earthquake. So, it is necessary to determine seismic responses of such buildings. There are different techniques of seismic analysis of structure. Time history analysis is one of the important techniques for structural seismic analysis generally the evaluated structural response is non-linear in nature. For such type of analysis, a representative earthquake time history is required. In this project work seismic analysis of RCC buildings with mass irregularity at different floor level are carried out. Here for analysis different time histories have been used. This paper highlights the effect of mass irregularity on different floor in RCC buildings with time history and analysis is done by using ETABS software.
Keywords: Seismic Analysis, Time History Analysis, Base Shear, Storey Shear, Story Displacement.
1) Shear walls are vertical elements that carry lateral loads like wind and seismic forces from the building down to the foundation, forming a box structure for support.
2) Shear walls should be placed on all levels of the building, including the basement, and symmetrically on all four exterior walls to form an effective structure. Interior walls can add strength when exterior walls are not sufficient.
3) Common types of shear walls include reinforced concrete, plywood, steel plate, and hollow concrete block masonry walls. Proper design and ductility improve shear wall performance during seismic events.
Seismic retrofitting is a collection mitigation technique for earthquake engineering.
It is the modification of existing structures to make them more resistant to seismic activity, ground motion, or soil failure due to earthquake.
It is of utmost important for historic monuments, areas prone to severe earthquakes and tall or
expensive structures.
The retrofitting techniques are also applicable for other natural hazards such as tropical cyclones, tornadoes and severe winds from thunderstorms.
Retrofitting proves to be a better economic consideration and immediate shelter to problems
rather than replacement of building.
Seismic Analysis of regular & Irregular RCC frame structuresDaanish Zama
This document discusses seismic analysis of regular and irregular reinforced concrete framed buildings. It analyzes 4 building models - a regular 4-story building, a stiffness irregular building with a soft ground story, and two vertically irregular buildings with setbacks on the 3rd floor and 2nd/3rd floors. Static analysis was performed to compare bending moments, shear forces, story drifts, and joint displacements. Results showed irregular buildings experienced higher seismic demands. The regular building performed best, with the single setback building also performing well. Irregular configurations increase seismic effects and should be minimized in design.
Reinforced concrete columns and beams are important structural elements that carry compressive and bending loads respectively. Columns can be categorized as short or long based on their height-width ratio and as spiral or tied columns based on their shape. Beams are classified based on their supports as simply supported, fixed, continuous, or cantilever beams. The construction of RCC columns and beams involves laying reinforcement, forming the structure, and pouring concrete to create these load-bearing elements.
Shake-table testing allows for the most accurate simulation of seismic response by subjecting physical models to actual ground motions. However, it is not practical for most design applications due to the resources required. Numerical analysis using techniques like finite element modeling provide a reasonable approximation of seismic response while being more practical for design. Shake-table testing is best suited for research purposes to validate numerical models.
Shoring is the construction of a temporary structure to support an unsafe or unstable structure. There are three main types of shoring: raking shores, flying shores, and dead shores. Raking shores use inclined members called rakers to provide lateral support to walls. Flying shores provide temporary support between party walls when an intermediate building is demolished. Dead shores provide vertical support to walls and structures when the lower part of a wall is removed, such as to add an opening.
This document defines and describes lightweight concrete. It discusses three main types of lightweight concrete: porous concrete, concrete without fine aggregate, and lightweight aggregate concrete.
Porous concrete contains air bubbles that make it lightweight. Concrete without fine aggregate uses only cement, water, and coarse aggregates. Lightweight aggregate concrete uses lightweight aggregates like pumice or expanded clay instead of regular aggregates.
The document outlines the characteristics and advantages of lightweight concrete, including better thermal and fire insulation, durability in various environments, lower water absorption, and acoustic properties. It also notes some disadvantages like increased sensitivity to water content and difficulty in placement and finishing.
Beam-column joints in reinforced concrete buildings must resist significant forces during earthquakes to avoid damage. These joints are vulnerable because the materials have limited strength. Closely spaced steel ties around the column bars in the joint region help control cracking and crushing of concrete by holding the joint together under forces. Sufficient column size and anchoring of beam bars into the column also improve the joint's ability to resist forces by providing better grip of the concrete on the steel reinforcement. Damage to beam-column joints during past earthquakes highlights their importance in earthquake-resistant design.

This document summarizes a study that investigated the use of spliced swimmer bars as shear reinforcement in reinforced concrete beams. Three beams were tested: a control beam with standard stirrups, a beam with welded swimmer bars, and a beam with spliced swimmer bars. The spliced swimmer bars were a new type of shear reinforcement consisting of small inclined bars spliced to the longitudinal flexural steel bars. Testing results found that the beam with spliced swimmer bars exhibited similar shear strength and failure mode to the beam with welded swimmer bars, both performing better than the control beam. Cracks were monitored as the load increased.
This document summarizes how beams and columns in reinforced concrete (RC) buildings resist earthquakes. It discusses the reinforcement and design strategies for beams and columns.
For beams, it describes the longitudinal bars and stirrups that provide flexural strength and resist shear cracks. The design focuses on placement of steel to resist stretching on both faces. Columns use longitudinal bars and transverse ties to resist axial and shear stresses. The design aims to prevent shear failure through close spacing of ties. Reinforcement details like hook ends and lap lengths are specified to improve ductility.

Dynamic analysis of steel tube structure with bracing systemseSAT Journals
Abstract Nowadays, competition towards rise of tall steel structures made certain factors are compulsory like serviceability and comfort of human relating to lateral loads caused by wind or earthquake. Earthquake is dangerous to the living beings in terms of its effects on manmade structures. Structures like tall buildings are built to resist gravity loads. However many tall buildings are not so resistant in lateral loads due to earthquake so need an improvement in resisting lateral loads. So there are many structural systems which resist lateral loads by varying orientation, addition of different structural systems. Like steel tubular structural system is considered and compared for their results against lateral forces and also by providing mega bracing system and diagrid bracing system. In this dissertation work, four structural systems are considered in which one is framed structure and rest are tubular system with addition of different bracing systems as mega bracing and diagrid bracing system. For the purpose 45 storey steel structure with rectangular plan of dimension 44mx24m uniform throughout the height is considered and analyzed for gravity and lateral loads using ETABS software. Its intention is to obtain the functioning characteristics like displacements, storey shear, time period, frequency, peak displacement and peak acceleration in both x and y direction to get most economical structure in all ways. Results shows that the steel tubular structure with mega bracing system performance is much better than the framed structure, tubular and tubular structure with diagrid bracing system. Keywords: Steel Tube Structure, Mega Bracing, Diagrid Bracing, Dynamic Analysis, ETABS, Time and History Analysis.
This document analyzes the seismic performance of a 13-story reinforced concrete building with different types of concrete and steel bracing systems. The bracing systems studied include diagonal, V-type, inverted V-type, combined V-type, K-type, and X-type bracings. The building is analyzed using ETAB software according to Indian seismic design standards. Results show that X-type concrete bracing and combined V-type steel bracing most effectively reduce story drift and displacement. Both systems increase the building's base shear, stiffness, strength, and displacement capacity when bracing is provided on all sides or any two parallel sides of the building. The study concludes that concrete and steel bracing are effective techniques for
IRJET- Earthquake Resistance Column by using Helical ReinforcementIRJET Journal
1. The document discusses using helical reinforcement in columns to improve earthquake resistance of reinforced concrete buildings. Conventional column reinforcement uses transverse ties, but helical reinforcement provides better protection against vibratory shocks.
2. A test was conducted casting a circular column with helical reinforcement and subjecting it to vibrations equivalent to a 6.0 magnitude earthquake. The column resisted the vibrations, demonstrating helical reinforcement can withstand earthquake loads.
3. Helical reinforcement helps carry shear forces during earthquakes, prevents vertical bars from bending outward, and keeps concrete confined within closed loops. It allows columns to bear higher working loads than conventional reinforcement.

The beam bridge: Beam and slab with ladder decks
This form of bridges comprises of slab which sits on top of steel I-beams. This form is mostly used for mid span highway bridge which is where our required bridge falls in.
Slab in this system is supported on tow main girders with a spacing of about 3.5m and it lies longitudinally between the girders as per the below diagram.
Figure 1
The bridge will use plate girders giving us a scope to vary the flange and web sizes to fit and suit the bridge load carrying capabilities. In the design process, ability of the bridge to carry the maximum load expected and the loading at the various stages of construction will guide on the proportion of girders that is their depth, width of tension and compression flanges and web thickness.
The girders are erected firmly on the ground and have stud connectors welded on the top flange to provide composite action between the slab and girder. The number of studs and spacing vary depending on expected level of shear flow between steel girder and concrete slab.
The girders rest on bearings fastened to the bottom flange. The girders are stiffened to carry the bearing loads at these points. Some cases apply bracing between the girders at support to carry lateral forces and provide torsional restraint.
Bridge description
· The bridge will have a span of 50m.
· The bridge will be raised to a height of 10m on both sides to be in level with the existing highway. The girders will have constant height.
· The bridge cross section will have the reinforced concrete slab sitting on top of two main abutment substructures and an extra substructure which will be on the central reservation. The main substructure will be located at the embarkment of the road.
Construction sequence
Abutment substructure construction
Girder construction
The bridge will consist of two main girder I beams. The girders will be of the same height. To make the I-beam, steel plates will be used. The steel plate is cut into the required sizes for the bottom flange and top flange and for the web. The cut pieces are then fillet welded into the I-section. This is done either by machine manual assembling in jig or through improved pressing machine .
Experimental study on strength and flexural behaviour of reinforced concrete ...IOSR Journals
Abstract: Strength and flexural behaviour of reinforced concrete beams using deflected structural steel
reinforcement and the conventional steel reinforcement are conducted in this study. The reinforcement quantity
of both categories was approximately equalised. Mild steel flats with minimum thickness and corresponding
width are deflected to possible extent in a parabolic shape and semi-circular shape are fabricated and used as
deflected structural steel reinforcement in one part, whereas the fabrication of ribbed tar steel circular bars as
conventional reinforcement on the another part of the experiment for comparison in the concrete beams. All the
beams had same dimensions and same proportions of designed mix concrete, were tested under two point
loading system. As the result of experiments, it is found that the inverted catenary flats and their ties, transfers
the load through arch action of steel from loading points towards the supports before reaching the bottom
fibre at the centre of the beam as intended earlier. Thereby the load carrying capacity and the ductility ratio
has being increased in deflected structural steel reinforced beams when compared with ribbed tar steel
reinforced concrete beams, it is also observed that the failure mode (collapse pattern)is safer.

Analysis of Beam-Column Joint subjected to Seismic Lateral Loading – A ReviewIRJET Journal
This document reviews the analysis and design of beam-column joints in reinforced concrete structures subjected to seismic lateral loading. It discusses that beam-column joints are critical parts that can fail in earthquakes due to shear or inadequate reinforcement anchorage. The document examines different types of beam-column joints and codes for their design. It also reviews past literature on modeling and testing beam-column joints and factors that influence their behavior under seismic loads. The conclusion is that beam-column joint design and detailing is important for seismic resistance and codes have improved based on research but more study is still needed.
This document discusses the seismic behavior of beam-column joints in reinforced concrete moment frames. It begins by introducing beam-column joints and their importance. It then explains that joints have limited strength and are vulnerable to damage during earthquakes. To prevent this, joints must be designed to resist earthquake effects. The document outlines how beams apply moments to joints during quakes and how this can cause diagonal cracking if the joint is not reinforced properly. It concludes that providing large column sizes or steel ties in the joint can prevent such cracking and damage.
This document provides a brief history of prestressed concrete, beginning in 1824 with the development of Portland cement. It then outlines several important developments in prestressed concrete technology from the late 19th century through the mid-20th century by innovators from various countries. These include early uses of steel in concrete, prestressing methods like pre-tensioning and post-tensioning, and development of high-strength steel and anchoring systems. It also mentions increased use of prestressed concrete during World War 2 and establishment of professional organizations to support the field.
How do Beam-Column Joints in RC Buildings Resist Earthquakes?Malay Patel
Beam-column joints are the intersections between beams and columns in reinforced concrete buildings. These joints must be designed carefully to resist seismic forces during earthquakes to avoid damage. Under earthquake shaking, the beams adjoining a joint experience moments in the same direction, pulling the top bars in one direction and bottom bars in the other. If the column is not wide enough or the concrete strength is low, the bars can slip inside the joint, weakening the structure. Providing closed loop transverse ties through the joint region helps prevent diagonal cracking and crushing of the concrete. The reinforcement cages for all beams at a floor level are ideally prepared together and lowered into place to ensure the ties surround the column bars through the joint region.
IRJET - Experimental Study on Performance of Buckling Restrained BracingsIRJET Journal
This document presents an experimental study on the performance of buckling restrained bracings (BRBs). BRBs are a type of seismic bracing that can yield in both tension and compression without buckling, providing stable energy dissipation. The study models five different BRB designs using finite element analysis to evaluate their hysteretic behavior and energy dissipation capacity when subjected to cyclic loading. The BRB designs vary the core plate shape and thickness, the material properties, and the gap size between the core and restraining tube. The goal is to identify the most efficient and economical BRB design that maximizes yield capacity and energy dissipation for seismic applications.

This document discusses a study that compares the behavior of multi-storey commercial buildings with flat slab construction and conventional reinforced concrete frame construction. Six building models are analyzed: conventional RC frame and flat slab buildings with heights of 4, 9, and 13 stories. The models are analyzed using ETABS software to study parameters like lateral displacement, storey drift, storey shear, column moments and axial forces, and time period under different load conditions. The analysis is done for Seismic Zone IV. The study aims to better understand the seismic behavior of flat slab buildings and identify design improvements needed for their performance in high seismic zones.
Comparitive study on rcc and composite (cft) multi storeyed buildingseSAT Journals
The document compares the performance of reinforced concrete (RCC) and composite (CFT) multi-storey buildings under lateral loads. Nonlinear time history analyses were performed on G+14, G+19, and G+24 buildings with different lateral load-resisting systems including bracing and shear walls. Parameters like natural period, displacement, and drift were compared. The CFT buildings showed shorter periods and better performance, with natural periods up to 25% less than the RCC buildings. The CFT buildings also exhibited reduced displacements and drifts compared to the RCC structures.
This document discusses different structural systems used for high-rise buildings, focusing on steel framing systems. It describes shear frames, which provide lateral stiffness through moment connections, and shear truss-frame systems, which combine shear frames with vertical trusses. Outrigger and belt truss systems connect vertical trusses to perimeter frames to improve stiffness. Framed tube systems use closely spaced columns and spandrel beams to create tube-like behavior. Developments in steel, like tailor-made beams and high-strength steels, have enabled taller and more efficient structures. The document provides examples of different structural systems used in high-rise building designs.
Seismic Response of R C Building With Different Arrangement of Steel Bracing ...IJERA Editor
In general the most suitable choices in improvement of reinforcement concrete frame against lateral loading is used steel bracing system. The use of steel bracing has potential advantage over other scheme like higher strength and stiffness, economical, occupies less space, adds much less weight to existing structure. In this study, the seismic analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings with different types of bracing (Diagonal, V type, inverted V type, X type) is studied. The bracing is provided for peripheral columns. A seven-storey (G+6) building is situated at seismic zone III. The building models are analyze by equivalent static analysis as per IS 1893:2002 using Staad Pro V8i software. The main parameters consider in this paper to compare the seismic analysis of buildings are lateral displacement, storey drift, axial force, base shear. It is found that the X type of steel bracing significantly contributes to the structural stiffness and reduces the maximum interstorey drift of R.C.C building than other bracing system.

Development of long carbon fibre reinforced concrete for dynamic strengtheningShoaib Wani
This presentation discusses the development and testing of long carbon fibers-fibers 75mm long to improve the resistance of reinforced concrete to dynamic loading, such as blasts and impact.
In the study, two types of long carbon fibers were developed and optimized for their use in reinforced concrete. The resulting long carbon fiber-reinforced concrete (LCFRC) was subsequently evaluated through impact and blast testing. Full-scale blast testing revealed that these fibers significantly increased the resistance of concrete spalling. In terms of the amount of material lost during the blast, LCFRC panels outperformed non fiber concrete panels by nearly a factor of 10.

A high-Speed Communication System is based on the Design of a Bi-NoC Router, ...DharmaBanothu
The Network on Chip (NoC) has emerged as an effective
solution for intercommunication infrastructure within System on
Chip (SoC) designs, overcoming the limitations of traditional
methods that face significant bottlenecks. However, the complexity
of NoC design presents numerous challenges related to
performance metrics such as scalability, latency, power
consumption, and signal integrity. This project addresses the
issues within the router's memory unit and proposes an enhanced
memory structure. To achieve efficient data transfer, FIFO buffers
are implemented in distributed RAM and virtual channels for
FPGA-based NoC. The project introduces advanced FIFO-based
memory units within the NoC router, assessing their performance
in a Bi-directional NoC (Bi-NoC) configuration. The primary
objective is to reduce the router's workload while enhancing the
FIFO internal structure. To further improve data transfer speed,
a Bi-NoC with a self-configurable intercommunication channel is
suggested. Simulation and synthesis results demonstrate
guaranteed throughput, predictable latency, and equitable
network access, showing significant improvement over previous
designs
We have designed & manufacture the Lubi Valves LBF series type of Butterfly Valves for General Utility Water applications as well as for HVAC applications.
2. Beam column joint:
In RC buildings, portions of columns that are common to
beams at their intersections are called beam column joint.
3. The joints have limited force carrying capacity.
When forces larger than these are applied during
earthquakes, joints are severely damaged.
Repairing damaged joints is difficult, and so damage
must be avoided.
4. • Under earthquake shaking, the beams adjoining a
joint are subjected to moments in the same (clockwise or
counter-clockwise) direction.
• Under these moments, the top bars in the beam-column
joint are pulled in one direction and the bottom ones in the
opposite direction
5. Reinforcing the Beam-Column Joint
Using large column sizes is the most effective way of
achieving this.
In addition, closely spaced closed-loop steel ties are
required around column bars (Figure 3) to hold
together concrete in joint region and to resist shear
forces.
Intermediate column bars also are effective in
confining the joint concrete and resisting horizontal
shear forces
8. The Indian Standard IS:13920-1993 requires building
columns in seismic zones III, IV and V to be at least
300mm wide in each direction of the cross-section
when they support beams that are longer than 5m or
when these columns are taller than 4m between floors
(or beams).
The American Concrete Institute recommends a
column width of at least 20 times the diameter of
largest longitudinal bar used in adjoining beam.
9.
10. It is preferable to have columns with sufficient width.
Such an approach is used in many codes [e.g.,
ACI318, 2005].
In interior joints, the beam bars (both top and bottom)
need to go through the joint without any cut in the
joint region.
These bars must be placed within the column bars and
with no bends.
11.
12. Innovative Techniques:
RC beam column joint strengthening by FRP
wrapping.
Strengthening of beam-column joint with steel
fibre reinforced concrete during earthquake
loading.
Reinforced concrete moment resisting frames.
13. CONCLUSION
Closed loop and intermediate column resists ill effects
of distortion of joints.
Greater width of the column 👍.
Beam bars are within column bars and straight 👍.
L-shape bar bends for large columns 👍.
