Abstract:

Concrete is one of the most resourceful and environmental friendly building materials. It can be cast to fit any structural shape from a cylindrical water storage tank to a rectangular beam, slabs and column in a high-rise building. In RC buildings, portions of columns that are common to beams at their intersections are called beam column joints. Beam-column joints have a crucial role in the structural integrity of the buildings. Review of literature indicates that numerous studies were conducted in the past to study the behaviour of beam-column joints with normal concrete. However, those recommendations are not intended for the fibre reinforced concrete. Some indicates that this material is an alternative to the confining reinforcement in the joint region. So the comparative study of the performance of different fibres in beam column joint has a greater importance and relevance in the field of RCC framed structures. This thesis aims to study the behaviour of beam column joint by evaluating the performance of fibre reinforced concrete. The incorporation of fibres in beam column joint is analysed in this study. The use of different types of fibres such as steel, glass and polypropylene are evaluated.
