Abstract

The beam-column joint is a critical component of reinforced concrete buildings, responsible for effectively transferring loads between connected members while withstanding gravity and seismic forces. However, these joints are often the weakest link in the structure due to insufficient shear strength. To ensure structural integrity, Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) materials are widely utilized for retrofitting beam-column joints. CFRP offers high strength, stiffness, and corrosion resistance without significantly increasing the joint's dimensions. ANSYS Workbench is a powerful software tool that enables detailed analysis and design of beam-column joints. By providing advanced simulation capabilities, it reduces the necessity for physical testing and streamlines the retrofitting process, thereby enhancing project efficiency and cost-effectiveness. This study focuses on the analysis and retrofitting of beam-column joints using CFRP materials in ANSYS Workbench, specifically in the 2022 R2 Student and 2022 R1 Teaching versions. The findings of this study reveal significant improvements in the retrofitted beam-column joints compared to their original condition. Notably, the use of CFRP wrapping reduces deformation and increases the maximum principal stress in various reinforcement patterns. The study also includes a comparison between manual and analytical results, further validating the effectiveness of the retrofitting approach using CFRP materials.
