Abstract
This paper investigates the seismic performance differences between interior beam-column joint which designed with BS8110 and Eurocode 8 of a two-storey precast school building. Both specimens were designed, constructed and tested under in-plane lateral cyclic loading. Subsequent to testing, the interior beam-column joint designed using BS8110 experienced diagonal shear cracks at top of column while the joint designed using EC8 only suffered hairline cracks at beam-column interface. Overall seismic performance comparison shows that beam-column joint designed with EC8 has higher in-plane lateral strength, lateral displacement, stiffness, ductility and equivalent viscous dam** than joint beam-column joint designed with BS8110. The maximum drift achieved by seismic joint is 2.25 % and non-seismic joint has maximum drift of 1.15 %. It can be concluded that the seismic joint has perform better than non-seismic joint due to the fact that more percentage of longitudinal and transverse reinforcement were used in seismic joint.
