Abstract: A total of three beam-to-column joints for composite structural systems consisting of reinforced concrete columns and steel (RCS) beams, which are referred to as “composite RCS systems,” were tested to investigate the ...

Abstract: Seismic design guidelines for composite reinforced concrete and steel (RCS) buildings consisting of reinforced concrete columns and structural steel beams were proposed in Japan as a practical outcome of the U.S.–Japan ...

Abstract: The seismic performance of engineering wood encased concrete-steel (EWECS) beam-column joints is investigated and reported within this paper. Experimental and analytical investigation was carried out on a total of two ...
