| Abstract | The seismic performance of the interior RC beam-column subassemblage of Shophouse buildings in Thailand was selected to resist the earthquake effects. The design considerations of the specimen were based on the structural analysis of the first floor of the four-story commercial reinforced concrete building frame, typical of a residential building. The service loads, calculations for reinforcing bars, their configuration and manufacturing were all based on “Acceptance Criteria for Moment Frames (ACI 374.1-05). Experiments were designed and conducted to study the deformation behavior and strength of beam column connections in reinforced concrete building frames. The load-deformation curves of connecting beams, load-strain curves of bars in tension and ductility and rotation of the end beam when failure occurs were conducted. The ease of construction, ductility and crack behavior for the beam-column sub assemblage are explained based on the test results. Recommendations for further work are also given. |
