One main purpose of this study is to measure the improvement of the ductility through structural tests of the connection between an exterior column and a beam of normal concrete in comparison with a concrete frame constructed with a mix of waste tire material. The actual section size of each column and beam is 30?×30? with the reinforced concrete (henceforth RC), which is based on a ¼-scale design with exterior columns and beams. The models are termed NCJ-1, TCJ-1, NCJ-2, NCJ-2, NCJ-3, and TCJ-3 for the six (6) types used here. It is estimated that the main rebar in the beam is not anchored over the boundary of the connection rejoin. Instead, it is anchored only to the boundary. The displacement of a diagonally reinforced connection rejoin with the waste-tire mixture showed a 3.3% increase with a 3% decrease of the resistance capacity. In the model of the connection rejoin with more waste-tire mixture and rebar anchored over the boundary of the connection rejoin.
