The main experimental result parameters investigated are theload applied-drift ratio relationship; ductility; and energy dissipation capacity. Besides, thedifferent corresponding modes of failure of the specimens were properly understood as well.An extensive study was done to review other related journals which will help facilitate a morecomprehensive understanding for the outcomes of this research (in Chapter 2). As for thisresearch, 15 RC L-joint specimens with different volumetric ratio of confinement (control; 1to 4 layers of steel straps) were fabricated and tested under simulated seismic loadingswhereby uniaxial cyclic loadings were applied on the specimens? beam tip and column topface. The experimental findings may be summarized as follows: The highest percentage ofshear strength enhancement is 40% as that shown by the specimens confined with two layersof steel straps. It was also found that the specimens with high volumetric ratio of confinementhave lower rate of stiffness degradation. On the other hand, the highest average displacementductility factor enhancement (74%) was shown by the specimen group with three layers ofsteel straps. The energy dissipation capacities of the specimens were found to steadily risewith the increased in volumetric ratio of confinement; the optimum volumetric ratio ofconfinement for maximum energy dissipation capacity (274%) is 4 layers. Besides, it wasshown that with the increased in volumetric ratio of confinement, the mode of failuretransitions from brittle-shear to flexural-shear; and then finally to ductile-flexural failure. Ingeneral terms, as for the retrofitted RC joint specimens, the main governing parametersbehind their enhanced seismic performance are their ductility and energy dissipation capacity.
