	abstract = {<p><span>Exterior beam-column joint is typically the weakest link in a limited-ductile RC frame structure. The use of diagonal haunch element has been considered as a desirable seismic retrofit option for preventing brittle failure of the joint. Previous research has been focused on implementing double haunches, whilst the performance of using single haunch element as a less-invasive and more architecturally favourable retrofit option has not been investigated. Hence, the feasibility of using single haunch system for retrofitting RC beam-column joint is explored in this study. This paper presents the analytical development of the technique and illustrates its effectiveness by showing the changes in the shear demand at the joint.</span></p>},
