It's clear that disparate factors could lead to RC joint failure. I want to know that which one are the most common ones (based on the records of failed structures under earthquake loads).
your time and response is greatly appreciated.

Four types of connection failure can be categorised:
(1) Beam Failure, B, when the beam develops a plastic hinge;
(2) Joint Failure, J, when the joint fails in shear without the beam yielding;
(3) Beam-Joint Failure, BJ, when beam yielding precedes joint shear failure;
(4) Joint-Beam Failure, JB, when, in rare cases, the joint loses one of its resistant contributions and after that the beam.
Four types of reinforced concrete beam-column joint failure can occur: (1) failure of the concrete strut;
(2) failure of the truss; (3) confining reinforcement failure; and (4) all of these depend on bond loss possibility.
