Abstract
The performances of repaired RC exterior beam-column joints were reported in this paper. The aim of the study was to restore back the lost capacity of the beam-column joint to the original state or more. Five type of exterior beam-column joint with different position of cold joint in the column were casted and subjected to reversed cyclic loading. The damage zones were confined with welded wire mesh (WWM) of 20 mm grid size and jacketed with polymer modified mortar (PMM). Damaged specimens after repairing were also subjected to similar cyclic displacement as those of control specimens. Seismic parameters such as load carrying capacity, energy dissipation, ductility, stiffness degradation, equivalent viscous damping, damage indices and nominal principal tensile stresses were analyzed. Results show that repaired specimens exhibited better seismic performance and hence the adopted repairing strategies could be considered as appropriate. These findings would be helpful to the field engineers to adopt a suitable rapid and cost-efficient repairing technique for restoring the damaged frame structural joints for post-earthquake usage. Further, the study revealed that there is an improvement in seismic capacity of the specimens as the location of cold joint is placed away from the soffit of the beam for lower story column.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
