About
In this research project experimental test campaign comprising eight full-scale beam-to-column joints with composite slim-floor beams was executed, accompanied with finite element simulations with the software Abaqus to investigate in-depth the conducted experiments and to analyse the behaviour of additional composite joints with different reinforcement properties. In the end, an analytical model was developed to calculate the rotation capacity of composite joints is derived, which offers an improvement of the current design rules for the joints.
