Numerical Investigation of Retrofitting Strategies for Existing Reinforced Concrete Beam-Column Joints: A Systematic Review
Many existing reinforced-concrete (RC) frames do not have joints which are detailed according to modern seismic detailing provisions. Consequently, the joint core of many existing frames is at risk of experiencing diagonal tension, bond deterioration, bar-slip, loss of stiffness and brittle shear failure. An insightful...
