Exploring strength and ductility responses of beam-column joints composed UHPC and UHPFRC employing concrete damaged plasticity

Fracture and Structural Integrity
Structures subjected to severe loads, such as earthquakes, often develop cracks at the beam-column joints, underscoring the significance of these regions in design. This study focuses on a comparative analysis of beam-column joints constructed with Ultra-
