The Anti-Shear Capacity of Abnormal Joint of Steel Reinforced Concrete

The paper presents an test and computational results of finite element studies on the behavior and capacity of abnormal exterior joints of Steel Reinforced Concrete (SRC) column and Reinforced Concrete (RC) beam. The critical parameters influencing Anti-Shear Capacity are analyzed by ABAQUS, such as the eccentricity of column section, the steel ratio of the joint core zone, the concrete strength and the axial compression ratio and so on. As a result, the Anti-Shear capacity of the joints mainly depends on "the minor joint zone". The calculating formula of Anti-Shear capacity of the joints, with the computing unit of minor joint core zone, is deduces.
