Abstract:Many parts of the world experienced devastating earthquakes in the recent past. It is observed that those collapsed reinforced concrete (RC) structures are decades old and not designed and detailed to resist seismic loads. Beam-column joints are the most affected structural components during earthquakes due to the discontinuous load path in the vicinity. Since, shear strength of beam column joint plays the major role on the performance of RC structures under earthquake, many models were proposed by researchers… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
