Abstract
The existing comparative analysis of the unbalanced moment mainly compares the differences between the calculated value and the experimental value of the unbalanced moment in different national codes and different calculation methods. There is less analysis on the change trend of the important parameters in the unbalanced moment calculation methods in national codes. A comparison of the provisions for unbalanced moment of reinforced concrete slab-column connections was studied based on Chinese code (GB 50010-2010), American code (ACI318-14) and European code (EN1992-04). The effects of concrete strength, longitudinal reinforcement ratio, the use of shear reinforcement and gravity-shear ratio on the unbalanced moment were studied through the calculation example and experimental results of 186 specimens. The results indicate that the calculation values of Chinese and American codes are conservative and dispersive, because the longitudinal reinforcement ratio and gravity-shear ratio on distribution coefficient of unbalanced moment were not considered, while the calculation results of European code are the closest to the test values.
