Abstract
Beam-Column joint is one of the major critical part in a building. In case of earthquake the beam-column joint will be more vulnerable to failure when comparing to other structural members, so the beam-column joint must be more concentrated while designing. In this paper replacement of basalt fiber is adopted in case of fine aggregates in concrete mix, so that the basalt fiber will modify the behaviour of beam-column joint, it will make the joint more ductile during earthquakes. Here, Basalt fiber is used as a replacement of fine aggregate in increasing order of 10%, 20% and 30% from this optimum range is determined and used in beam-column joint and a comparative study is made with conventional beam-column joint.
