Abstract

Beam column joints are crucial zones in reinforced concrete frame which resist high shear force, therefore it should be designed specially . The parameters affect joint behavior, including concrete strength, concrete dimensions, joint stirrup, beam reinforcement and axial load columns. Amount of the joint mechanism models and the joint reinforcement designs have been developed. To increase the amount of joint stirrup only to certain limit, therefore to increase the shear strength should be in another method. The use of the implant king cross steel profile in the joint as in previous studies encountered several obstacles. This paper reviews previous research on joint strengthening with a composite system and proposed new design.
