Abstract: The high demand for concrete using aggregate such as gravel and granite drastically reduced the natural stone deposits and this has damaged the environment thereby causing ecological imbalance. In this project, steel slag aggregate (SSA) is used as a substitute for natural aggregate. Slag is an industrial waste and also Slag is eco-friendly to the environment. The beam column joint is the crucial zone in a reinforced concrete moment resisting frame. Beam column joint specimens were casted and tested under reverse cyclic loading. In total, five specimens of beam column joint were casted with Steel slag fine aggregate concrete (SSFAC), Steel slag fine aggregate concrete with polypropylene, Steel slag coarse aggregate concrete (SSCAC), Steel slag coarse aggregate concrete with polypropylene and conventional concrete (CC). Experimental tests are done and compared with analytical results of these beam column joint specimens.
