Nineteen papers are divided into the following groups. - Tests conducted on specimens designed using current codes but with the same general geometry and a specified loading history. (4 papers) - Design recommendations -- Japan. (1 paper) - Influence of joint geometry on strength and deformation characteristics. (8 papers) - Influence of bond on joint performance. (4 papers) - Joint in precast systems and with high-strength materials. (2 papers)

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.

Precast concrete systems are mainly used to construct residential buildings in Japan. The systems include precast concrete wall structures for low-to-medium-rise buildings and frame structures for medium to high-rise buildings. Most of the precast members are produced in fabricating plants and shipped to the site. Beam-column joints in precast systems are designed using essentially the same design philosophy but considerably different details, as used in cast-in-place construction. The details of the joints are usually examined from the structural viewpoint by experimental tests and from the construction viewpoint by mock-up tests. This paper is intended to give an overview of beam-column joints used in precast concrete moment-resisting frame structures. Aseismic design and details of the joints are described and a few examples of construction practice are illustrated. Emphasis is placed on joints in high-rise construction using precast concrete systems.

Describes a theoretical investigation into the hysteretic behavior of hinges in reinforced concrete members subjected to seismic loading. The most important feature of this study is the quantitative evaluation of bond deterioration process between the main reinforcement steel and concrete. An analytical procedure is formulated and a computer program for assessing bond deterioration is developed. End hinges and adjacent bond regions in reinforced concrete members are represented by mathematical models that consist of steel elements, concrete fiber elements, and bond links. Assuming appropriate constitutive curves for these elements, the equilibrium condition of section forces in a hinge is obtained iteratively. This analytical method is applied to the problem of slippage of beam bars in reinforced concrete cruciform beam-column joint subassemblages. The analytical results aptly explain the transient processes of structural behavior observed in experiments, and the quantitative assessment of bond deterioration processes is accomplished satisfactorily.

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.
