Multi-level shaking table tests were performed on a 1:3 reduced scale two-story reinforced concrete (RC) intermediate moment resisting frame (IMRF) conforming to the requirements given in ACI-318-19. The exterior joints lacked shear reinforcement assess viability of ACI model recommended for determining design strength beam–column joint panel.

Finite-element models of varying sophistication may be employed to determine a building’s seismic response with increasing complexity, potentially offering higher fidelity at the cost computational load. To account for this effect on reliability performance assessment, model-type uncertainty needs incorporated as distinct related given model’s parameters. At present, only placeholder values are...

Abstract Most papers in the literature address reliability analysis of isolated elements, like beams and columns. However, symmetry regularity are often exploited construction regular RC frames, resulting same or similar designs for all columns a floor building. This leads to significant differences member reliability, due different axial load bending moment ratios, parts structure. Moreover, e...
