Modelling this is pretty much like modellin anything else.There is a couple of elements for joint modelling in the database.Chek em out.

Thank you kostast88
i mean how can we model precast a beam-column joint acting as a hing and does not transfer any moment between beam and column,
should we use BeamColumnJoint Element to model the joint ? if yes , I'd appreciate your advice if you post an example and explain what happen to the bar slip springs
again
Thank you very much
