Abstract
Abstract: The beam–column joint is measured as the most important zone in a reinforced concrete moment resisting frame. It is subjected to large forces during earthquake and its behaviour has a major influence on the response of the entire structure. As a result, a great attention has to be paid for good detailing of such joint. The absence of transverse reinforcement in the joint, insufficient development length for the beam reinforcement and the inadequately spliced reinforcement for the column just above the joint can be considered as the most important causes for the failure of the beam–column joint under any unexpected transverse loading on the building. The recent earthquakes revealed the importance of the design of reinforced concrete (RC) structures with ductile behaviour. Ductility can be described as the ability of reinforced concrete cross sections, elements and structures to absorb the large energy released during earthquakes without losing their strength under large amplitude and reversible deformations.
