Abstract
This paper describes the experimental investigation carried out on a reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column joint subjected to opening moments, using monotonic loading. A half scale beam-column model was designed as per the non-ductile Indian Standard for reinforced concrete members. All the relevant material tests were performed and reported accordingly, mainly for facilitating the numerical study. The behaviour of the joint was primarily studied in terms of the load–displacement response, energy dissipated, ductility ratio and crack pattern. The test strength was also compared with the strength predicted by the Indian Standard, and a good agreement between the two was observed. Lastly, a numerical model was developed for simulating the behaviour of RC beam-column joint using ANSYS. There was a good match between the test result and the numerical one.
