Abstract
The objective of this study is to evaluate the flexural behaviour of stainless-steel fibre-reinforced concrete beam-column (BC) joints under reverse cyclic loading. Based on the properties of concrete with various percentages of fibre, the optimized volume fraction was obtained as 0.75% of stainless-steel fibre. In the present work, two sets of beam-column joints with and without fibres were cast and tested under reverse cyclic loading. The beam-column joints were loaded up to five cycles, to study their behaviour, and examine the failure pattern of the joint. Based on test results, parameters such as ductility and the energy absorption capacity characteristics were evaluated. It is concluded that the inclusion of stainless-steel fibre improves the overall seismic resistance of RC beam-column joints.
