Results of five series of seismic tests on reinforced concrete interior beam-column joint subassemblages are reported. The effects of design parameters of joints including amount of longitudinal reinforcement, ratio of column to beam moment capacity and ratio of depth of the column to depth of the beam are investigated. Maximum story shear of some specimens are smaller than the story shear calculated by the flexural strength of the beam or the column if the flexural strength of the column is equal or near to that of the beam, although the joints have enough margin for nominal joint shear capacity.
