Beam-Column joints in reinforced concrete structures (RC) are important elements that connect beams and columns. For the proper transfer of lateral forces along a continuous load path, the integrity of these joints and sufficient strength are crucial. Modern seismic design philosophies dictate these joints to be designed and reinforced with the required joint shear reinforcements. Extreme principal compression stresses in these joints might cause joint shear failure even when the joints are properly reinforced considering capacity design principles. This emphasizes the significance of the axial load levels in the behavior of RC beam-column joints, which are currently being overlooked. This problem is strongly relevant to the sustainability of the modern RC structures and their expected seismic viii performance since almost all existing RC buildings are susceptible to this weakness with enough axial compression levels in column. In this study, a previously developed simplified beam-column joint model, defined as an axial load-moment (N-M) interaction envelope, is implemented in the non-linear static and dynamic analyses of a modern building (with/without vertical accelerations) that suffered joint shear damage. The study aims to utilize the model in its simplest form in a widely used structural analysis software, which is expected to be used by practicing engineers. The accuracy of the joint model in simulating the seismic response is determined by comparing the analysis findings with the observations from real building damage. The model accurately represents joint shear behavior in non-linear static and non-linear dynamic analyses with varying axial load levels.

Simple equations for predicting the rotational ductility of fiber-reinforced-polymer strengthened reinforced concrete joints Abu Tahnat, Yazan B.; Samaaneh, Mohammad A.; Dwaikat, Mahmud M. S.; Halahla, Abdulsamee M. (2020-04-01) Achieving a certain limit of rotational ductility in retrofitted reinforced concrete (R.C) joints is very important in the design of earthquake-resistant structures. Strengthening of R.C joints using wraps of fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) is a common attractive technique and has an effect on the ductility of such joints. This study focuses on developing simple conceptual equations to predict the ductility of exterior reinforced concrete (R.C) beamcolumn joints as a function of the applied FRP. The equatio...
Modeling Beam-Column Joints in Fragility Assessment of Gravity Load Designed Reinforced Concrete Frames Çelik, Ozan Cem (Informa UK Limited, 2008-3-14) Reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures customarily have been designed in regions of low-to-moderate seismicity with little or no consideration of their seismic resistance. The move toward performance-based seismic engineering requires accurate reliability-based structural analysis models of gravity load designed (GLD) RC frames for predicting their behavior under seismic effects and for developing seismic fragilities that can be used as a basis for risk-informed decision-making. This analytical approach ...
Seismic upgrading of reinforced concrete frames with structural steel elements Özçelik, Ramazan; Binici, Barış; Department of Civil Engineering (2011) This thesis examines the seismic internal retrofitting of existing deficient reinforced concrete (RC) structures by using structural steel members. Both experimental and numerical studies were performed. The strengthening methods utilized with the scope of this work are chevron braces, internal steel frames (ISFs), X-braces and column with shear plate. For this purpose, thirteen strengthened and two as built reference one bay one story portal frame specimens having 1/3 scales were tested under constant grav...
The effect of infill walls on the seismic behavior of boundary columns in RC frames Fenerci, Aksel; Binici, Barış; Ezzatfar, Pourang; Canbay, Erdem; Ozcebe, Guney (2016-03-01) The seismic behavior of a 1/2 scaled, three-story three-bay RC frame with masonry infill walls was studied experimentally and numerically. Pseudo-dynamic test results showed that despite following the column design provisions of modern seismic codes and neglecting the presence of infill walls, shear induced damage is unavoidable in the boundary columns. A finite element model was validated by using the results of available one-story one-bay frame tests in the literature. Simulations of the examined test fra...
Evaluation of the Predictive Models for Stiffness, Strength, and Deformation Capacity of RC Frames with Masonry Infill Walls Turgay, Tahsin; Durmus, Meril Cigdem; Binici, Barış; Ozcebe, Guney (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2014-10-01) Buildings with masonry infill walls (MIWs) in reinforced concrete (RC) frames are commonly used all around the world. It is well known that infill walls may affect the strength, stiffness, and displacement ductility of the structural system. Different approaches have been adopted in different codes and guidelines to consider the stiffness and strength contribution of MIWs on RC frame behavior. This study compares the ability of the existing guidelines to estimate stiffness, strength, and deformability of RC...
