Friends, what are your solutions for column beam junction area error? quote] In order to determine which elements cause the problem in the column-beam junction, first of all, click on the Column line from the Reinforced Concrete menu to enter the column reinforced concrete dialog.Here, click on the problem element with the left mouse button once.Click the Joint Area Security line and select the elements in the direction of the problem from the window that opens After determining, you can apply the following suggestions in the relevant direction: Formulas: Vmax= x . 2bj . h . fcd x=0.60 for confined joints, x=0.45 for unconfined joints Vmax = Maximum limit value fcd = concrete compressive design strength Bj = In the direction of the considered earthquake, the combination Double the distance from the vertical middle axis of the beam stuck in the area to the column edge, the dimension of the vertical edge of the column belonging to the beam that says h = UNSAFE. Beam shear force: Ve= 1.25 . fyk . (As1+As2) - Vkol fyk = reinforcement characteristic yield strength As1 = Total area of tensile reinforcement placed on one side of the column-beam joint to meet the negative moment of the beam As2= Total area of the tensile reinforcement placed at the bottom to meet the positive moment on the other side of the beam with respect to As1 Tensile reinforcement area Vkol= Smaller of column shear forces. If Ve > Vmax in any earthquake direction, there is B in the columns. a. The easiest way is to enlarge the bj or h value. 9_1.PNG 9_1.PNG (7.6 KiB) Viewed 82605 times As you can see, the bj value increases as the beam slides into the middle of the column or the width of the beam increases. If the bj value cannot be increased, the h value must be increased. You can make 50/30 instead of 50/25 or reverse the column sizes. b. Making the column a curtain: Curtains do not enter the column-beam cutting safety control. c. Measures should be taken to reduce As1 and As2. More rigid system design, such as ensuring the continuity of the frames. In general, frames in the form of columns-beams-columns, stud beams and columns-beams-columns in overhangs create negativity. D. Enlarge the fcd by using higher strength concrete.
