- Abstract
Due to the large stirrup ratio and reinforcement congest in beam-column joints, the ordinary reinforced concrete beam-column joints take inconvenience to construction. Cracked fiber renforced concrete (FRC) has strong bridge ability and better tensile performance so that it can replace part or all of the stirrups. Based on previous researches on resistance mechanism of reinforced concrete joints, a new model using FRC materials in the core zone of beam-column joints is presented. It is a kind of model in which horizontal shear supported by the diagonal strut mechanism and softening truss mechanism with a certain percentage. The calculation results of the model is compared with the existing test results. It is a bit conservative to specimens with low axial load ratio. However, the results are in line with the specimens with high axial load ratio. Therefore, the results totally demonstrate the rationality of the proposed model in this paper. Meanwhile, according to the proposed model, the shear capacity of beam-column joints can be not only calculated, it also check whether FRC compressive strength in core zone of joints and horizontal stirrup ratio meets design requirements, which has a higher practicability.
