A beam-column joint is a very critical zone in reinforced concrete framed structure where the elements intersect in allthree directions.There are practical difficulties involved in theconstruction of reinforced beam-column joints.In this review to focus on the general behaviour of reinforced concrete Beam-Column joints (BCJ); exterior, interior and at top floor. Previous research work presented studying BCJ under gravity and seismic loads in addition to the effect of many parameters on the mechanical behaviour of BCJ. The current study investigated the effect of reinforcement configuration, eccentricity, the joint aspect ratio (hR b R/hR c R), concrete compressive strength, and the compressive column axial load.BCJ classification was introduced according to ACI 318-02 (2002) and Egyptian code (2007). The equations and recommendations related with BCJ in national codes were reviewed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
