Abstract: This paper shows a comprehensive behavior of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) beam-column joint under cyclic loading. The study examines the structural response of CFRP beam-column joint subjected to cyclic loading using finite element analysis on ABAQUS. It mainly consists of study on strain behavior of the cracks at joint. The analysis considers how CFRP beam-column joint affect the performance of normal beam-column joint. The curve typically shows the dissipated energy as a function of load v/s displacement. Performance of CFRP upgraded beam column joint under cyclic loading with CFRP is majorly affected. The crack formation within area has been distributed over larger area and the total crack strain is decreased up to 38%.
