Structural Behaviour of RC ECC Beam Column Joint Subjected to Cyclic Loading

Abstract

Investigate the effect of PVA fibbers on behaviors of Beam- column joint under cyclic load and investigate effect of PVA fiber’s beam column joint subjected under lateral loading. To analysis a numerical model of beam column joint using 3D finite element method. As the percentage of PVA fibbers increases, the load carrying capacity increases up to 0.75% of fibers content, beyond 0.75% increases in PVA fiber’s content it will not contribute increasing strength. As the percentage of fibbers increases the beam column joint sections can undergo larger deformation. In 3D FEM adding the various percentage PVA fibers in T, LVDT, L shapes of beam column joint adding fibers in the junction. on. As the percentage of fibers’ increases the beam column joint sections can undergo large stress.
