Abstract:
Tests of corner joints have shown that simply carrying the reinforcement design from the adjacent beam elements and developing into the joint does not ensure adequate moment capacity. From the selected research, an understanding of the internal mechanics and reinforcement details becomes paramount in ensuring joints have sufficient capacity to transfer the required moments.
