INFLUENCE OF BEAM HEIGHT-COLUMN WIDTH RATIO ON SEISMIC BEHAVIOR OF RC MOMENT RESISTING FRAMES by A. Khalili, F. Nateghi Alahi

“…Firstly, stiffer beams are often used against more flexible columns due to the absence of seismic provisions that limit the relation between beam height and column width, which results in column severe damage to the columns and, finally, collapse of them. Secondly, the effect of the cast-in-situ slab in increasing the negative flexural strength of the beam is often underestimated or ignored, leading to the flexural strength of the columns being less than that of the beams. …”
