Abstract:-The beam column joint has been an area of research for the past couple of decades. In this study, the beam column joint was studied for monotonic loading and the interaction between the load increment and the stress developed in the tension and compression reinforcements was determined, this was observed that even the compression reinforcement plays a role in the load carrying capacity of the beam column joint under monotonic loading. It has been observed that as the diameter of the tension reinforcement increases, the load carried by the compression steel reduces. This also implies ductility of the tension reinforcement plays a major role in the load carrying capacity of the beam column joint.
