Model for knee joints loaded to closing and opening direction.normal to the critical section and distribution is assumed to be rectangular stress blockwith compressive stress <strong>of</strong> σ c (=0.85 σ B : concrete compressive strength). The notationT 5 represents the resultant force in joint shear reinforcements distributed in beam-columnjoint in vertical and horizontal direction, which confines the joint core. In thispaper, horizontal and vertical resultant forces are assumed not to damage to the geometricalsymmetry. The distance <strong>of</strong> tensile and compressive longitudinal bars isassumed to be jD. Solution for general case is more complicated where knee joint isnon symmetric and not shown here.461
