STATIC BEHAVIOUR OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF R.C BEAM-COLUMN CONNECTIONS AS AFFECTED BY BOTH VALUE OF ACTING AXIAL NORMAL FORCE AND GRADE OF USED CONCRETE (THEORETICAL STUDY

Research Abstract
This paper describes a theoretical study of the effect of both acting axial loads and grade of concrete on the static behaviour of (32) thirty two Reinforced Concrete (RC) Beam-column joints. ABAQUS\CAE version 6.7, a nonlinear finite element analysis software package, was developed specifically for the analysis of reinforced concrete structures under plane stress conditions. Variable axial loads were applied and increased gradually with constant lateral load, which was applied maintaining at the top of the column at internal and external beam-column joint only the ultimate and cracking axial loads were recorded as well as the corresponding versus vertical displacement, the maximum joint shear stresses, axial, stresses strains, and absorbed energy, mode of failure using different grades of concrete C250, C400, C600 and C1200 were evaluated and recorded.
