Numerical Study on Strength of Reinforced Beam-Column Joints

The location of malaysia is not within the "Ring of Fire" zone of frequent earthquake. Thus,in Malaysia,the seismic hazard is low with high consequences. The possibilities of the building to experience thevibration when subjected to a lateral or horizontal force ground motion due to an earthquake is low. After the incident of. undersea megathrust earthquake of 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake ,called Tsunami swept across Malaysia,this disaster has made the engineer ,architects and local authorities pay more attention on the effective seismic design of concrete structures.This project is about the numerical study on strength of reinforced beam-coltunn joints dtae to sescrc earthquake, Much leads to building collapse.Research regarding the sheau strength and ductility of the jumts has been found to be the important design to achieve satisfactory structures
