modeling the behavior of reinforced concrete beam-column exterior joint using ansys with the comparison of results of analytically and experimentally

The beam-column joint is the most affected area in a reinforced concrete moment resisting frame. it is unprotected to large forces during severe ground shaking and its behavior has a significant influence on the retort of the structure. joints are a crucial part of the transfer of force reactions and moments effectively between the connecting elements like beamsand columns. in this paper, the main aim of the study is modeling the behavior of reinforced concrete beam-column exterior joint using ansys with the comparison of results of analytically and experimentally.
