Abstract
In this paper, a simple column-beam joint in steel structures is experimentally studied. The joint is achieved by means of filling steel fiber reinforced cementitious composites at the gap. In the test, simple beam specimens are employed by filling both steel fiber reinforced cementitious composites and concrete at the joint, and unidirectional cyclic load is applied. The empirical results show that the specimens with steel fiber reinforced cementitious composites give enough stiffness and strength without prominent damage in comparison to the specimens with concrete. It is concluded that the simple column-beam joint with steel fiber reinforced cementitious composites is applicable.
