A Study on Energy Dissipation in Rcc Beam Column Joints Using Semi Rigid Connection

Abstract

Beam column joint failure has been linked to the partial or whole collapse of reinforced structures, according to information gathered during seismic reconnaissance. Under seismic stress, the failure of a single beam has only a limited impact, but the failure of a beam-column junction might lead to the collapse of the whole structure. The resulting economic damage and human casualties are substantial. Hence, keeping the beam and column from coming apart is crucial. Recent earthquakes have caused significant damage to important structures, and this is mostly attributable to a lack of ductility in the beam-column junction. The ductility performance was enhanced by the design of a specific moment resistant frame. There is less moment transmission and greater yielding under lateral load in steel and pre-fabricated constructions that make use of semi-rigid connections. In this project, we use an analytical approach to examine the impact of semi-rigid connections in the RCC columns and beams of reinforced concrete high-rises.
