Abstract

In order to investigate the seismic damage and performance of steel reinforced ultra high strength concrete composite joint subjected to reversal cycle load, six interior strong-column-weak-beam joint specimens were tested with various axial load ratio and volumetric stirrup ratio. A discussion on the crack mode and ductility was presented. It was found that all joint specimens failed in bending with a beam plastic hinge in a ductile manner, with crack propagation different from the weak-column-strong-beam joint. The experimental results indicated that test parameters of the steel reinforced ultra high strength concrete composite joint with good seismic performance may be referred for engineering application.
