Finite Element Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Beam-Column Joint under Low Cyclic Loading with Different Load Systems

Abstract:

Seismic performance of RC beam-column joints under low cyclic loading with different cycle numbers was analyzed by FEA software, to study duration effect of long period ground motion. The loading with different cycle numbers was used to simulate the duration of the ground motion. Hysteretic curves and skeleton curves of the joints were obtained. The results indicate that as the cycle number increases, the capacity and ductility of the joint declines, and the stiffness of the joint attenuates faster.
