Computer simulation offers the potential for improved understanding of the local and global mechanisms that determine the response of structures to severe loading. The research presented here focuses on development of a finite element model using ABAQUS software to be used in investigating the behaviour of reinforced concrete exterior beam-column connections. Laboratory investigation of reinforced concrete beam-column connections indicates that component failure may result from inelastic material behaviour of plain concrete and reinforcing steel. Thus, model development includes investigating and characterizing the behaviours of these materials. Concrete damaged plasticity model is used to represent the response of plain concrete. Comparison of computed and observed behaviour of reinforced concrete elements indicates that the model used represents the local response mechanisms that determine global behaviour correctly. The current research helps one to have an improved understanding of finite element modelling of reinforced concrete subassemblies in ABAQUS software. Comparison of load displacement diagram of RCC beam column joint subjected to monotonic loading by using ANSYS and ABAQUS nonlinear modelling is represented. It is observe that the ABAQUS software is giving realistic reinforced concrete load displacement behaviour than ANSYS software.
