NON LINEAR ANALYSIS OF BEAM COLUMN JOINT WITH GEOPOLYMER

The ancient Romans used concrete and poured it into moulds to construct a sophisticated network of aqueducts, culverts, and tunnels. Pre-cast technology is now used in a range of architectural and structural applications, from individual components to full building systems. When an earthquake strikes a reinforced concrete structure, the beam-column junctions are critical zones. Due to the huge stresses and moments generated by significant ground shaking, concrete in the joint location cracks diagonally and crushes. Thus, for the design of beam-column junctions, extremely ductile materials are necessary. There are three types of beam-column joints: interior, exterior, and corner. The purpose of this research is to analyse RCC buildings for dead loads, live loads, and earthquake loads in order to identify critical joints and to analyse critical joints in ANSYS for axial forces, shear forces, and bending moments, as well as the impact of utilising a geopolymer layer.
