ABSTRACT Analytical and Experimental Assessment of Seismic Vulnerability of Beam-Column Joints without Transverse Reinforcement in Concrete BuildingsbyWael Mohamed HassanDoctor of Philosophy in Engineering - Civil and Environmental EngineeringUniversity of California, BerkeleyProfessor Jack P. Moehle, ChairBeam-column joints in concrete buildings are key components to ensure structural integrity ofbuilding performance under seismic loading. Earthquake reconnaissance has reported thesubstantial damage that can result from inadequate beam-column joints. In some cases, failure ofolder-type corner joints appears to have led to building collapse.Since the 1960s, many advances have been made to improve seismic performance ofbuilding components, including beam-column joints. New design and detailing approaches areexpected to produce new construction that will perform satisfactorily during strong earthquakeshaking. Much less attention has been focused on beam-column joints of older construction thatmay be seismically vulnerable. Concrete buildings constructed prior to developing details forductility in the 1970s normally lack joint transverse reinforcement. The available literatureconcerning the performance of such joints is relatively limited, but concerns about performanceexist.The current study aimed to improve understanding and assessment of seismic performanceof unconfined exterior and corner beam-column joints in existing buildings. An extensiveliterature survey was performed, leading to development of a database of about a hundred tests.Study of the data enabled identification of the most important parameters and the effect of eachparameter on the seismic performance.The available analytical models and guidelines for strength and deformability assessment ofunconfined joints were surveyed and evaluated. In particular, The ASCE 41 existing buildingdocument proved to be substantially conservative in joint shear strength estimation. Uponidentifying deficiencies in these models, two new joint shear strength models, a bond capacitymodel, and two axial capacity models designed and tailored specifically for unconfined beamcolumnjoints were developed. The proposed models strongly correlated with previous testresults.In the laboratory testing phase of the current study, four full-scale corner beam-column jointsubassemblies, with slab included, were designed, built, instrumented, tested, and analyzed. Thespecimens were tested under unidirectional and bidirectional displacement-controlled quasi-staticloading that incorporated varying axial loads that simulated overturning seismic moment effects.The axial loads varied between tension and high compression loads reaching about 50% of thecolumn axial capacity. The test parameters were axial load level, loading history, joint aspectratio, and beam reinforcement ratio. The test results proved that high axial load increases jointshear strength and decreases the deformability of joints failing in pure shear failure mode withoutbeam yielding. On the contrary, high axial load did not affect the strength of joints failing inshear after significant beam yielding; however, it substantially increased their displacementductility. Joint aspect ratio proved to be instrumental in deciding joint shear strength; that is thedeeper the joint the lower the shear strength. Bidirectional loading reduced the apparent strengthof the joint in the uniaxial principal axes. However, circular shear strength interaction is anappropriate approximation to predict the biaxial strength. The developed shear strength modelspredicted successfully the strength of test specimens.Based on the literature database investigation, the shear and axial capacity models developedand the test results of the current study, an analytical finite element component model based on aproposed joint shear stress-rotation backbone constitutive curve was developed to represent thebehavior of unconfined beam-column joints in computer numerical simulations of concreteframe buildings. The proposed finite element model included the effect of axial load, mode ofjoint failure, joint aspect ratio and axial capacity of joint. The proposed backbone curve alongwith the developed joint element exhibited high accuracy in simulating the test response of thecurrent test specimens as well as previous test joints.Finally, a parametric study was conducted to assess the axial failure vulnerability ofunconfined beam-column joints based on the developed shear and axial capacity models. Thisparametric study compared the axial failure potential of unconfined beam-column joint with thatof shear critical columns to provide a preliminary insight into the axial collapse vulnerability ofolder-type buildings during intense ground shaking.
