This paper presents an analytical study that focuses on the development of
a parametric equation to predict the joint shear strength. In this analytical study, a
database containing geometric properties, material strengths, configuration details
and test results of reinforced concrete beam-to-column connection subassemblies
tested under cyclic loading is established. Then, based on the experimental results,
parameters affecting joint shear capacity are determined. The most influential
parameters are selected and an equation to predict the maximum joint shear
strength is formed. The developed equation includes parameters that take into
account the effect of eccentricity, wide beams, transverse beams and presence of
slab on the seismic behavior of the connection region, besides the key parameters
such as concrete compressive strength, effective joint width and joint transverse
reinforcement ratio. The maximum joint shear strength vales obtained by the
proposed equation are then compared with different code approaches and the
comparison results are discussed.
