This　paper　describes　eight　tests　carried　out　on　thin-walled　steel　tube　confined　concrete　(TWSTCC)　column　to　reinforced　concrete　(RC)　beam　joints　subjected　to　cyclic　loading,　where　the　column　cross-sectional　type　and　the　level　of　axial　load　in　the　column　were　selected　as　test　parameters.　In　addition,　two　concrete　filled　thin-walled　steel　tubular　column　to　RC　beam　joints　were　also　tested　for　comparison.　Each　TWSTCC　joint　specimen　consisted　of　a　TWSTCC　column　and　a　RC　beam　pass　through　the　column　to　represent　an　interior　joint　in　a　building.　The　experimental　results　are　analysed　to　evaluate　the　influences　of　different　testing　parameters　on　the　performance　of　the　beam-column　joints.　It　was　found　that　the　TWSTCC　joints　show　generally　excellent　seismic　performance　and　is　adoptable　in　practical　engineering,　particularly　in　earthquake　zone.　©　2009　Elsevier　Ltd.　All　rights　reserved.
