ESRCF system joint connection test results.

Member	Member length	Number of anchors	(kN)	(kN)	Safety ratio
Beam	0.2 LB	8	23.7	107.5	4.5
	0.6 LB	22	256.2	311.5	1.2
Column	0.2 LC	6	23.7	80.6	3.4
	0.6 LC	18	208.8	254.8	1.2

L_B: beam length; L_C: column length; : lateral resisting force on the ESRCF strengthening frame; : strength of joint connections using anchors.
