Seismic Performance Test and Finite-Element Analysis of T-Shaped Steel Plate Connection for Strengthening Reinforced Concrete Beam–Column Joints
To enhance the seismic performance of existing reinforced concrete (RC) buildings during retrofitting, the study introduces a new type of joint connected by a T-shaped steel plate. Compared with previous similar strengthening methods, this novel structure incorporating a post-installed beam not only effectively improve...
