By installing unsymmetrical chamfers on the soffits of beams, it has been proved in earlier studies to be effective for strengthening nonseismically designed beam-column joints (BCJs). To generalize this, this study aims extend strategy BCJs having upper and lower columns different sizes. Such column eccentricity is not uncommon gravity-load structures. In study, experimental were conducted six 2/3 scale specimens joint shear failure, including three interior exterior specimens. The...
Plane or solid elements are the most commonly used for finite element analysis (FEA), especially predicting behaviour of reinforced concrete structures in engineering practices.However, there some limitations continuum model built with plane elements.Traditional FEA is not only time consuming due to numerous degrees freedom but also difficult predict crack propagation.Properly replacing micro-truss could be cost effective, automatically generating strut-and-tie (STM), which an ideal tool and...
