Monotonic Test• Key results
� Even with a large displacement input (180 mm), collapse of
the subassembly was not reached for monotonic loading;
� At the end of the test it was observed damage in the beam-
column connection (spalling of concrete cover, crushing of
concrete);
� At the end of the test it was observed damage along the Final

� At the end of the test it was observed damage along the
column height (cracking of concrete);
� No considerable damage was attained in the beam and in
the dowels;
� Cracking of concrete was visible for a displacement of 5
mm;
� The resisting moment at the bottom of the column was
attained for a displacement of 180 mm.Rome
