Abstract:
|
In this article, experimental and finite element (FE) numerical investigations on interior wide-beam
column joints are presented. The experimental research consisting of three full-scale interior widebeam
column specimens was carried out at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore to study
the seismic behavior. Details of the test results are discussed to understand the specimens’ seismic
performance in terms of general behavior, hysteresis loops response, and strain profiles of longitudinal
reinforcement. In the FE numerical study, the three-dimensional (3D) model developed is
validated by comparing the analysis results with the experimental test results, which has shown a
good agreement. A parametric study is performed to elucidate more information and to understand
the influence of critical parameters affecting the joint behavior such as column axial load, beam
anchorage ratio, and wide beam participation. |
