The analysis of steel structures has become increasingly significant due to their wide application in modern civil, industrial, and high-rise constructions. The performance and stability of such structures are highly influenced by the behavior of beam-column joints, which act as critical transfer points for loads and stresses. This study focuses on the strength observation of beam-column joints in steel alloy frameworks, emphasizing their response under different loading and boundary conditions. A comparative analysis of joint behavior using finite element modeling and experimental validation is carried out to evaluate stress distribution, failure modes, and deformation characteristics. The effect of steel alloy composition on joint ductility, stiffness, and load-bearing capacity is also examined. Results indicate that joint strength contributes directly to overall structural reliability, highlighting the need for optimized joint detailing and material selection in design practice. This research contributes to developing safer, more durable steel structures and provides valuable insights for structural engineers in adopting suitable steel alloys and joint configurations.
