Accumulating vast amounts of pollutants drives modern civilization toward sustainable
development. Construction waste is one of the prominent issues impeding progress toward …

Beam-column connections play an important role in the seismic behavior of reinforced
concrete structures. Among various factors that can affect the performance of beam-column …

Beam-column joint behavior in Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures is a key issue for
earthquake engineering, because, under seismic loads, these elements are subjected to …

Some of the current concrete damage plasticity models in the literature employ a single
damage variable for both the tension and compression regimes, while a few more advanced …

This study developed a novel concrete-filled steel tube column to continuous reinforced
concrete beam joint with multiple openings in the core region, aiming to eliminate field …

Capacity of components subjected to earthquake actions is still a widely interesting research
topic. Hence, developing precise tools for predicting drift capacities of reinforced concrete …

Column-beam joints are of critical importance in cast-in-situ reinforced concrete structures.
Under the effect of earthquake, no damage should occur in these regions that would disrupt …

The present paper concerns the numerical study of the behavior of exterior RC beam–
column joints under seismic actions by using a macro-modelling approach. The beam …

Experience of previous earthquakes shows that a considerable portion of concrete precast
buildings sustain relatively large damages especially at the beam-column joints where the …

Beam-Column Joints (BCJ) manage the structural behaviour and failure mechanisms under
severe events, blast, earthquakes, and impacts. Thus, they are the critical constituents in a …
