The ever increasing failure of structures, loss of life and staggering economic losses due to earthquake have raised the concern against earthquake safety to alarming level. Devastating failures in past have witnessed the behavior of beam-column joints governing the global response of structures. Congestion of reinforcement and construction difficulties has escalated the attention required for strengthening RC beam-column joints. In this study, an attempt have been made to carry out experimental investigations on effect of various strengthening techniques such as steel fiber reinforcement, carbon fiber reinforcement polymer (CFRP) strengthening, steel haunch strengthening and confining joint reinforcement technique. The effectiveness of each measure was evaluated experimentally. These specimens were tested under horizontal loading and their behavior was discussed with emphasis on strength, displacement ductility, stiffness and failure mechanism. Special attention was given to crack-width study. The non linear finite element analysis response of beam-column joint was studied for basic model using ANSYS software along with initial and progressive cracks up to failure. The analytical and experimental results were compared and presented in this work to make scientific conclusions.
