Abstract
Failure investigation studies on a large number of buildings exposed to earthquake loads revealed that Beam-Column Joint (BCJ) is the most critical structural regions in any moment resisting RC structure. The structural response of RC moment resting frame system under the earthquake loads mainly depends on the behavior and performance of the BCJ. It should be designed and detailed properly to ensure safety and serviceability of the structure under various earthquake loads. In the present Experimental work, Normal Strength Concrete (NSC) Fiber Reinforced Beam-Column Joint specimens are cast and are subjected to Cyclic loading. Proportions of steel fibers used are 0%, 0.5% and 1%. Load response curves have been plotted to demonstrate change in the Energy absorption, Stiffness Degradation and Ductility factors.
