The article discusses a study on a retrofitting technique used for a reinforced concrete beam column joint specimen under cyclic loading. Topics covered include the use of cementitious laminates in strengthening beam column joints to extend its life span, the energy dissipation capacity of retrofitted beam column joints, and a comparison of the experimental and analytical results of control specimen and retrofitted specimen.
