The topics in this session include, the column-beam joint check and the shear check that are performed in STAAD Advanced Concrete Design for ductile columns and special moment frame columns.

The design of beam-column joints is an important part of earthquake resistant design for reinforced concrete moment-resisting frames. Due to the difficulty of repairing and retrofitting damaged beam-column joints in buildings after a seismic attack, recent building codes for reinforced concrete buildings, provides allowable joint shear stress to preclude premature failure of beam-column joints before a beam sway mechanism has developed.

This check is performed for different concrete design codes such as:

  1. IS:13920-2016 - Indian Ductility code
  2. ACI 318 - 2011, 2014, 2019 - American Concrete Design Code
  3. BS EN 02-1-1-2004 - Euro Code for Concrete Design
  4. NSCP-2015 - National Philippines code for Concrete Design
