Abstract
The seismic behaviour of reinforced concrete structures built with plain reinforcing bars is sometimes conditioned by the slippage between the reinforcing bars and the surrounding concrete in the elements as exterior beam-column joints. The anchorage of the beam reinforcing bars in the core joint with weak concrete confinement, inappropriate reinforcement detailing for seismic loads and poor bond properties are the common reasons for collapse of many structures. This paper presents the results of four unidirectional cyclic tests and two unidirectional monotonic tests carried out on full-scale exterior beam-column joints built with plain and deformed reinforcing bars. These specimens are representative of reinforced concrete structures built without adequate reinforcement detailing for seismic loads. The influence of bond properties, lapping of the longitudinal bars, anchorage of the beam reinforcing bars and loading on the beam-column joints response are investigated.
