Abstract:
A number of approaches are available for design of beam-column joints. The joint details resulting from the application of each approach differ considerably. In most cases the transverse reinforcement required in the joint is substantial and makes fabrication difficult. The requirements for transverse reinforcement can be traced to the research which forms the basis for design rules. In many cases the loading histories used in test programs produce very large deformations which may be in excess of the deformation realized in actual structures. Research on beam-column joints is reviewed and suggestions are made for determining loading histories and test specimens which may be more rational in terms of structural performance requirements.

A comparison is made of the reinforced concrete Synopsis: design of two long low-rise corporate headquarter buildings in Houston. Both buildings utilize pour strips to completely eliminate in one case and minimize in the second case the number of expansion joints. The process which was followed to eliminate the expansion joints included a comprehensive computer analysis of temperature effects. This analysis gave the forces for which additional reinforcing was required. Strips of concrete through the buildings at all levels were omitted to allow the initial shrinkage and creep to take place and then the strips were filled in. One building was completed in 1977 and has developed no significant cracks while the second building is now under construction.

The paper discusses the need for interaction between the engineer and his fellow professionals. In particular, refeences made to the role of the structural engineer in the design of buildings, and the liaison which should take place with architects and other members of the design team. The team approach to design is discussed, and some suggestions are made with respect to the disciplines which may be represented on a project team. Examples are given of projects in which the engineer has been instrumental in determining the final results.

Increases in engineering design productivity are possible through increased computer usage. Increased computer usage by engineers is possible if computer programs are made easier and the results easier to interpret. Means of making computers easier to use are presented.
