Abstract

Understanding the hysteresis behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column joints with monolithic slabs under cyclic loading is essential for assessing seismic performance. Finite element analysis (FEA) provides a powerful tool for such studies, but accurately capturing cyclic response remains challenging. This research aims to develop and validate an FEA model that provides the hysteresis behavior of an RC beam-column joint focusing on material modeling approaches and emphasizing the influence of discrete crack modeling in simulating major crack opening and closure. The numerical model is implemented in ABAQUS/Standard, combining the Concrete Damaged Plasticity (CDP) model for concrete, combined hardening for reinforcement, and discrete crack representation to enhance crack behavior simulation. The model is validated against previous experimental results by Durrani & Zerbe (1987) under the same cyclic loading protocol. The results show that least one discrete crack significantly enhances the agreement between numerical and experimental hysteresis loops, while two discrete cracks provide the best match for capturing pinching effect and cyclic stiffness degradation. The compression stiffness recovery parameter (wc) in CDP and the combined hardening model for reinforcement also play critical roles in influencing numerical results. The model successfully reproduces cyclic stiffness degradation and energy dissipation, although minor discrepancies exist due to material data limitations. This study advances numerical modeling of RC beam-column joints under cyclic loading, emphasizing the importance of discrete crack modeling in enhancing simulation accuracy for seismic performance assessment.

Abstract

The performance of beam supports is essential for seismic resilience, particularly under the Strong Column–Weak Beam (SCWB) principle. To improve construction efficiency, steel deck-based composite slabs are increasingly adopted as alternatives to conventional slabs. However, their impact on the plastic behavior of beam supports remains underexplored. This study evaluates the influence of steel deck slabs using finite element analysis in ABAQUS. Two beam-column joint models—conventional and modified—were subjected to cyclic loading according to FEMA 461. The models incorporated stiffness recovery, combined hardening for steel, and a cohesive zone model (CZM) for the concrete–steel deck interface. Results indicate that the steel deck model shows a wider hysteresis loop and 2.425% higher energy dissipation, but experiences earlier reinforcement yielding and greater stiffness degradation. Although ductility increases, plastic hinges form at nearly the same cycle. Overall, the steel deck system improves energy absorption and ductility but reduces elastic stiffness and accelerates inelastic behavior.
