A comparative seismic fragility analysis of a multi and single component beam-column joint models

Reliable quantification of joint flexibility of non-ductile RC frames is critical for seismic vulnerability assessment. The issue of super-element joint models causing numerical divergence in non-linear time history analysis of reinforced concrete frames is investigated. The rigid joint assumption a...
