This study presents experimental and numerical study on cyclic behavior of SRC composite columns-steel beam joints. The pseudostatic experiments were carried out on four samples with different axial loads. X-shaped shear reinforcement was added in the sample no. 4 in order to investigate its effect on the crack resistance in the joint core area. Low-frequency cyclic load was applied at beam ends to simulate the earthquake action. The failure characteristics, hysteretic behavior, stiffness degradation, shear resistance, and displacement ductility were investigated. Experimental results indicated that the failure mode of the joints was mainly shear failure, and the composite joints showed excellent seismic behavior with higher capacity and good ductility and energy dissipation ability. X-shaped shear reinforcement performed well to increase the concrete crack resistance. Shear forces from both experimental test and theoretical analysis were compared, and suggestions were given on modification of theoretical formulas. Simulation using the ABAQUS model showed good results that agreed well with the test results. Steel stress distribution and damage development were analyzed in the model. More parameters of web thickness, stiffener thickness, concrete strength, and stirrups and their influence on shear resistance were studied.


Over the past few decades, a significant growth was observed on utilization of steel fibers in Reinforced Concrete (R.C) members. Past research studies on hybrid concrete endorsed optimum utilization of steel fibers (1.5% by volume) as it effectively contributed to improve flexural properties of reinforced concrete members such as R.C beams and slabs .But the contribution of fibers against shear resistance mechanism of R.C beams are not identified well in the previous research. In this context an experimental program was conducted to find Shear contribution and associated Parameters of fibers in the Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) beams. A series of test programmes are conducted on three full scale reinforced concrete beams (NSF: No steel fibers, BSF1: Steel fibers in shear span, BSF2: Steel fibers in full span) with different configuration of shear reinforcement by using varied range of SFRC in the tested beam. The test results evaluated on the basis of strength and durability aspects at service loads and limit of failure conditions. The results concluded that the presence of steel fibers in reinforced concrete beam significantly contributed to induce shear resistance mechanism and ductile property of R.C beam. This improvement observed in BSF2, when the SFRC constituted in shear span region and the rest of R.C beam arranged with minimum conventional stirrups as shear reinforcement. Further the steel fibers possess good compatibility with concrete and steel reinforcement ,which enhance mechanical and serviceability conditions of R.C beam such as shear strength, ductility, stiffness with respect to strength and deflection, crack width during serviceability conditions of the beam.

The aim of this study was to investigate the dynamic shear failure behavior of RC beams under rapid loading through an experimental study. Thus, rapid loading test for 48 RC beams was performed, in which shear span-to-depth ratio, shear reinforcement ratio and loading rate were variable. The RC beams exhibited diagonal tension failure, shear compression failure and flexural failure depending mainly on the shear span-to-depth ratio and the shear reinforcement ratio. The influence of loading rate on the maximum resistance is more significant for the RC beams failed in shear than for those failed in flexure.

Old reinforced concrete buildings constructed around 1980’s in many developing countries have been designed against mainly gravity load. Beam-column joints in these buildings contain slightly or no shear reinforcement inside the panel zones due to the construction convenience, and are vulnerable to shear failure in beam-column joints under the action of earthquake loads, especially for the exterior beam-column joints. This experimental study aimed to investigate the seismic performance of five half-scale exterior beam-column joints simulating the joints in existing reinforced-concrete buildings with non-shear hoop details. The test results showed that the structural performances of the beam-column joints under earthquake including failure mode, load-drift ratio relationship, shear strain of the joints and energy dissipation are strongly affected by the amount of longitudinal reinforcing bars of beams.

This paper evaluates the shear resistance of hybrid I-beams fabricated by high performance steel and conventional steel. A number of hybrid I-beams are modeled and analyzed to determine their shear failure mechanism characteristics, considering parameters of web slenderness (hw/tw), frame action from end-stiffeners, ratio of flange width to web depth (bf/hw) and panel numbers. The analyses conclude that, in shear resistance calculation, plate beam with inter and slender webs often fail in inelastic or elastic shear buckling while ultimate shear resistance of compact webs is given by the shear strength of the material. What’s more, more rigid stiffeners provide more fixity to flange plates and increase the post-buckling resistance of plate beam. For plate beam with several panels, the shear stress at the ultimate load is similar. Finally, the I-beams with larger flange width to web depth ratio would develop larger shear strengths and then shear deformation cause formation of plastic hinges.

Earthquake affected structures, mostly failure occur at beam column joints (BCJ). BCJs are categorized according to their geometrical grouping as Interior, Exterior, and Corner joints. Exterior beam column joint (i.e., terminating the beam on one of the column faces) was the most vulnerable one with respect to the plane of loading. The present study aims at ductility behaviour of exterior BCJ with conventional reinforcement using the code IS 456-2000 and with special confining reinforcement using the Code IS 13920-2016. Four number of beam-column joint specimens are considered in which the first one is detailed as per IS 456-2000, the second one as per IS 13920-2016 and the other two with 50% and 30% reduction of shear reinforcement was provided while compared with the first specimen. It is mainly to satisfy the strong column-weak beam concept as the main parameter. The test was carried out on the loading frame with hinged conditions to the column both ends, and the load is applied at the tip of the beam. The experimental studies are proven with an analytical study carried out by finite element model by using ANSYS and disparate parameters are assessed both experimentally and analytically.
