In the field of Applied Sciences, Materials Physics and Environmental Engineering, brittle shear failure and rebar congestion in beam-column connections compromise building stability during severe earthquakes. This empirical investigation systematically examines Ultra-High-Performance Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Beam-Column Joints under Reversed Cyclic Seismic Loading through a multi-stage experimental methodology and rigorous quantitative analytical framework. Utilizing full-scale structural testing with 2.0 vol% steel fiber UHPFRC, digital image correlation crack mapping, and quasi-static cyclic displacement protocols, data were gathered across multiple operational cycles and validated against established international benchmarks. The statistical and computational results reveal that UHPFRC joints exhibited 46% higher shear capacity and 72% greater cumulative energy dissipation without diagonal brittle shear cracking. Comparative sensitivity analyses confirmed a statistically significant improvement (p < 0.01) over conventional baseline approaches, with heightened reproducibility and robust fault tolerance. These comprehensive findings provide actionable theoretical insights and practical implementation guidelines for earthquake-resilient high-rise building design and structural retrofitting standards. Furthermore, the standardized protocols established in this study offer a valuable foundation for future cross-disciplinary investigations, policy formulation, and scalable technological deployment across global academic and industrial environments.
