In traditional reinforced concrete (RC) frame systems, severe damage usually occurs in the beam-column joint zone under strong earthquakes, which increases the post-earthquake repair difficulties in restoration speed and expenditure. In response to this problem, a new reduced beam section (RBS)-base...
