This volume is a collection of technical papers on the aspects of design of beam-column joints for seismic resistance. Nineteen papers are divided into the following groups. - Tests conducted on specimens designed using current codes but with the same general geometry and a specified loading history. (4 papers) - Design recommendations -- Japan. (1 paper) - Influence of joint geometry on strength and deformation characteristics. (8 papers) - Influence of bond on joint performance. (4 papers) - Joint in precast systems and with high-strength materials. (2 papers)
