	abstract = {<p>Exterior beam-column joint is potentially the weakest link in a limited-ductile RC frame structure in Australia. The use of diagonal haunch element has been considered as a desirable seismic retrofit option for preventing brittle failure of the joint. Previous research globally has 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. In this study, the feasibility of using a single haunch system for retrofitting RC beam-column joint in Australia is explored. This paper presents the key formulations of the technique and illustrates its effectiveness by showing analytically the changes in the shear demand at the joint.</p>},
