The paper describes the testing of three reinforced concrete haunched beam-column assemblies under incremented-static cyclic loading. The half or full size test units were based upon typical interior joints of external frames of multi-storey buildings designed to the current NZ loading code. Hinge formation occurred in the beams and stable hysteretic behaviour was obtained up to model displacement ductilities of 6 (worst unit) to 18 (best unit). Corresponding prototype building ductilities are shown to be slightly higher. Tests results indicated the importance of matching the yield moment strengths in the haunch with the combined seismic and gravity load distribution.

The paper describes the testing of two reinforced concrete beam-column joint units tested under incremented-static cyclic
 loading. The full size test units were based upon an interior beam-column joint of a four-storey 
framed building designed to the current NZ loading code and represent 
refinements on two previously tested conventional joints of similar dimensions. One unit differed from common practice by having a post-tensioned beam stressed to balance the floor dead load of the prototype structure whilst the second unit was detailed with haunched beams. Hinge formation occurred in the beams and stable hysteretic behaviour was obtained up to displacement ductilities of 10 for the prestressed unit and 6 for the haunched unit. The test results are analysed in terms of the draft NZ design code, DZ 3101, and the ACI Recommendations for beam-column joint design.

A comparison is made of the seismic design provisions for reinforced concrete beam-column joints required by the new New Zealand concrete design code NZS 3101 and recently proposed United States procedures. Large differences are shown to exist between these new provisions of the two countries. Results are reported
of cyclic load tests which were conducted according to the requirements of the new NZS 3101. The test results showed that location
of plastic hinges in beams away from the column faces may be of considerable advantage in the design of joints, when member sizes are small and joint shears are high, due to less congestion of reinforcement and better anchorage conditions.
