Abstract
A comprehensive study of monolithic beam-column joints in reinforced concrete buildings is presented. The design philosophy and the experimental investigations of beam-column joints are first reviewed, followed by a brief history of the finite element analysis of reinforced concrete. A general purpose finite element program called MSC/NASTRAN is then used to model a beam-column joint. Finally, a parameter study is performed to examine the changes in stress in the joint core due to changes in the steel configuration and material properties.
