— Beam column joint is an important component of a reinforced concrete moment resisting frame and should be designed and detailed properly when the frame is subjected to earthquake loading. Failure of beam column joints during earthquake is governed by bond and shear failure mechanism which are brittle in nature. Modern codes provide for reduction of seismic forces through provision of special ductility requirements. A beam column joint has been moulded to the scale of 1:1.5 and the model has been subjected to cyclic loading to find its behavior during earthquake. The earthquake resisting structure is G+11 and has been analyzed using the Seismic Coefficient Method. This paper presents a synthesis of strengthening design of reinforced concrete beam and column by replacing it with Ultra High-Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete.

Ultra-high performance fibre reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) has very high compressive strength up to 200 MPa and exhibits strain hardening effects under flexural loading. The bond strength between UHPFRC and steel reinforcement is much better than the normal strength concrete. Therefore, there is a potential to use UHPFRC material at the beam-column joint region to reduce the congestion of reinforcement as well as to improve the seismic resistance of the structure. In this pilot study, the beam column joints made of normal strength concrete and UHPFRC were tested under lateral cyclic loading up to failure using a 500 tonne capacity computer control servo hydraulic machine. The specimen with normal strength concrete failed at the joint region while the specimen with UHPFRC material failed due to yielding of the rebars in the beam sections near the column face and no obvious cracks were observed at the joint area. The specimens with UHPFRC as joint material exhibited higher initial lateral stiffness and achieved slightly higher ultimate load capacity than the specimen with normal strength concrete.

The paper presents the results obtained on cylindrical Ultra High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete specimens with diameter of 30mm and a height of 60mm under compression at high stress rate (1.7–2.3 TPa/s). Four different percentages of fibre reinforcement are considered (1, 2, 3, and 4% fibre content) and compared with the results of the matrix (UHPC). A slight reduction of the strength and fracture time with the introduction of fibres is observed. The experimental results are analysed and discussed with the intent to better understand the mechanical behaviour of UHPFRC materials in case of dynamic event under service loading conditions.
