4. SEISMIC RESPONSE OF PARTIAL-STRENGTH COMPOSITE JOINTS<br />

The transfer <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> compression force from <strong>the</strong> slab, on <strong>the</strong> sagging moment side,<br />

can only take place through <strong>the</strong> two mechanisms described above. The <strong>high</strong>est<br />

resistance FRd <strong>of</strong>fered at a beam-to-column connection can be estimated as <strong>the</strong><br />

sum <strong>of</strong> FRd1 <strong>and</strong> FRd2:<br />

F = F 1 + F 2 = ( b + 0.7 ⋅ h ) ⋅ t ⋅ f<br />

Then, <strong>the</strong> effective width <strong>of</strong> concrete in <strong>the</strong> connection zone is, at <strong>the</strong> most:<br />

b = b + ⋅ h<br />
