NO NO
1.1 Beam -column joint are the critical part of the beam – they need to 5
be designed
1.2 Pull- push forces on joints cause two problems - these results in 6
irreparable damage in joints under the strong seismic shake
1.3 Closed loop ties in beam column joints – such ties with 135 hook 6
resist the ill effect of distortion of joint
1.4 Anchorage of beam bars in interior joints – diagrams (a) and (b) 7
show cross section view in plain of joint region
1.5 Provision of horizontal ties in the joints – three stage procedure is 8
required
1.6 Types of joint in moment resistant frames 9
