Shear Capacity of High-Strength Concrete Beam-Column Connections

梁与柱的连接是为钢筋混凝土建筑结构提供稳定性和强度的基本组件。目前，即使采用了高强度的混凝土，建筑规范对混凝土的强度也有一定的限制。这种限制导致使用比实际需要更大的列尺寸，从而变得不经济、效率较低，并且在体系结构上不理想。该项目将通过分析和实验研究使用高强度混凝土的梁柱连接的结构行为。结果将有利于设计人员和代码编写机构。研究者以同样的方式进行了初步研究，有资格进行这项调查。该项目被推荐为一个奖项。这是一个为期18个月的一次性奖励。

Beam to column connections are essential assembly to provide stability and strength to a reinforced concrete building structure. At present, building code requirements limit the strength of the concrete which can be used for designing even though higher strength concrete is used. This restriction results in the use of larger column sizes than are actually needed, thus becoming uneconomical, less efficient and less architecturally desirable. This project will investigate, analytically and experimentally, the structural behavior of beam-column connections using high strength concretes. Results will be beneficial to designers and code writing bodies. The researcher is qualified to perform this investigation having conducted preliminary studies in the same manner. The project is recommended for an award. This is a one time award for a period of eighteen months.
