Abstract
This paper describes the effects of anchorage reinforcement for the structural performance of RC L-shaped beam-column joints using mechanical anchors at the ends of column longitudinal rebar. The requirements of the anchorage reinforcement are summarized referring to the previous study. Static loading tests of two specimens with and without the requirements of the anchorage reinforcement were conducted to verify its effectiveness; however, anchorage failure occurred at the ends of exterior column longitudinal rebar. Therefore, the requirements were modified based on the experimental damage, which was verified the effectiveness to completely prevent the occurrence of anchorage failure.
