The parameter investigated was the type of reinforcement used in the beam, i.e. plain and deformed bars. Test results showed that when the hooks anchored down in the column increased the tensile stress in the diagonal concrete strut in the joint core, this led to diagonal crack of the concrete and a decrease in the joint shear strength. The seismic performance of the exterior RC joints without beam stub was also observed to be much improved when the hook tail of beam reinforcements was bent inside the joint core. The strut-and-tie model based on the recorded strain in the joint transverse reinforcement could be used to determine the force flow in the joint core.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Axial forces,Beam-column joints,Concrete struts,Cyclic loadings,Deformed bar,Force flow,Joint core,Lightly reinforced concretes,Seismic Performance,Strut-and-tie model,Transverse reinforcement[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]beam-column joints,reinforced concrete,seismic performance[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1260/1369-4332.15.10.1765[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
