Calculation on Crack Resistance of Reinforced Concrete Exterior Joints with Special-Shaped Columns

Article Preview

Abstract:

According to the mechanical analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) joint with special-shaped column, the formula of crack resistance considering the effect of flange length was derived on the basis of the elasticity theory, and the expressions for calculating the frame joint core effective height and width were presented. Furthermore, four RC joints with special-shaped columns were tested under low cyclic loading to investigate the mechanical behavior. At last, the calculated results predicated by the proposed formula are compared with that by experiments, and indicate that the expression has good applicability.
