Abstract:
Beam-column joint is the most critical structural component in reinforced concrete
frame structures. During earthquake high demand for energy dissipation imposed by
adjoining structural component may cause failure in structure. So understanding
seismic behavior of beam-column joint is crucial to mitigate seismic hazard.
Nowadays moment resisting frame is one of the most widely used earthquake
resisting structural system. Generally there are three types of moment resisting
frames. Among them special moment resisting frame offers the most ductility to
endure severe seismic activity. Its stringent reinforcement detailing allows large
deformation without significant damage. In this study we have used ABAQUS to
investigate stress-strain formation in special moment frame and have compared with
gravity load design. The finite element model uses the concrete damaged plasticity
approach. For special moment frame the result shows high stress bearing capacity and
displacement than gravity load design.
