Abstract:
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.
