Seismic Performance of Beam-Column Joint With Different Compressive Strength Ratios

Abstract

In this study, exterior beam-column joints with various concrete compressive strengths were investigated for their seismic performance. Using ANSYS software, a total of three external beam-column junctions were created and examined under reversed cyclic loads. Column-to-beam joints were affected by the concrete's compressive strength ratio. Modelling and analysis are performed on specimens with column-to-beam concrete compressive strength ratios of 1, 2, and 3 while maintaining a constant concrete compressive strength for the beam. The findings show that as the compressive strength of the concrete in the column is raised, the overall performance of the beam-column junction improves.
