Abstract:
Presents a critical review of current design provisions for shear and anchorage in beam-column joints subjected to large seismic actions. When current design limits are compared with experimental data, the results indicate that if short anchorage lengths and large shear stress are used simultaneously, large losses of bond transfer capacity and stiffness will occur. The performance of joints based on different levels of joint shear stress and anchorage lengths is discussed, and an empirical formula linking anchorage and shear is proposed based on the limited tests data available on bar slip.

As part of a United States/New Zealand/Japan/China collaborative research project, interior and exterior beam-column joint subassemblages with floor slabs of prototype two-way and one-way reinforced concrete building frames were designed for earthquake resistance using the current New Zealand concrete design code, NZS 3101:1982. Three full-scale subassemblages as designed were constructed and tested under quasi-static cyclic loading which simulated severe earthquake actions. The overall performance of each subassemblage during the tests was satisfactory in terms of strength and ductility. The joint core and column remained essentially undamaged while plastic hinges formed in the beams. The strong column-weak beam behaviour sought in the design, desirable in tall ductile frames designed for earthquake resistance, was therefore achieved. Although the joint cores of the subassemblages remained in the elastic range, joint core shear deformations contributed significantly to the interstorey drifts. Also, a significant proportion of the slab bars in tension contributed to the negative moment flexural strength of the beams. The performance of the one-way joint was superior to the performance of the two way joints.

Two series of experiments on the performance of beam-column joints in reinforced concrete frames were carried out. In Series I, the influence of the transverse reinforcement in the joint and/or the portion of the beam end connected to the column was investigated. From the test results, it is derived that heavy transverse joint reinforcement may reduce the slippage of beam bars in the joint and enhance the joint stiffness after cracking, and the similar transverse shear type reinforcement in the beam end has little effect on relieving the stiffness after degradation of a frame due to the deterioration of bond along the beam bars within the joint. In Series II, the effects of locating a plastic hinge in the beam away from the column face were examined. The test results show that the bond deterioration of beam bars within the joint may be prevented effectively by plastic hinge relocation, but shear-sliding deformation may occur at the plastic hinge away from the column face owing to the inevitable increased shear force in the beam. A new arrangement of beam bars to improve the behavior of the plastic hinge is proposed.

In structures subjected to lateral loading, slab reinforcement acting as effective tensile reinforcement of the beams has been found to increase significantly the beam flexural strength. The enhanced beam flexural strength has several effects on the structural behavior, including a shift in the ratio of strengths between the beams and other members. This may result in a failure mechanism different from that anticipated. The slab contribution depends on several variables, including the connection type (interior or exterior), lateral deformation level, and lateral load history (uniaxial or multiaxial). This paper summarizes general behavior observed during isolated and multiple beam-column-slab connection tests. An approximation is given for estimating the amount of slab reinforcement to be considered as effective tensile reinforcement of the beams.
