Joint Design

What It Is?
To ensure that the beam-column joint of special moment
resisting frames possesses adequate shear strength.
The program performs a rational analysis of the
beam-column panel zone to determine the shear forces
that are generated in the joint.
The program then checks this against design shear
strength.

Joint Design
How?

Only joints that have a column below the joint are

designed.
The material properties of the joint are assumed to be the
same as those of the column below the joint.
The joint analysis is performed in the major and the minor
directions of the column.
