 Introduction

Beam-Column joint should be

proportioned to resists forces at
critical sections.
 Objective
 Exterior RCC Column and Beam Joint
Modeling by Finite Element.
 Effect of beam depth on moment of the
beam-column joint.
 Study of Moment-Rotation (M-Φ) Relation.
 Literature Review
 Bond-slip of reinforcement in joints- Russo, Zingone and
Romano (1990)
 Effect of inelastic cycle loading on high-strength RC
connections –Alameddine and Ehsani (1991)
 RC frames subjected to lateral loads-Qi and
Pantazopopulou (1991)
 FE Modeling

 Solid Geometry

a) Beam length from

column 10 ft.
b) Column length from
beam bottom 10 ft.
c) Column length from
beam top 10 ft.
d) Beam depth 10,12
and 14 inch.
 Modeling of concrete

a) Use element Plane 42 2-D.

b) Four nodded.
c) Two degrees of freedoms
at each node (Ux & Uy).
Modeling of concrete area.

area
 Modeling of Reinforcements

a) Use element Link-1

2D spar.

b) two degrees of
freedom at each
node (Ux & Uy).
Modeling of Reinforcement.

 Load and Boundary Condition

 Columns end condition

considered fixed.Ux=0 and Uy=o
for both ends of column
 Load and Boundary Condition

 Use Coupling between

reinforcement and
concrete nodes of
beams top and bottom
by one dof Fy.

 Apply 5000 lb
upwards from beams
free end.
 Result

 Deformed shape of FE
Model.
