The　demand　for　architectural　aesthetics　leads　to　inclined　columns　in　modern　constructions,　resulting　in　inclined　beam-column　joints　(BCJs).　Although　seismic　performance　and　shear　strength　of　BCJs　have　been　widely　reported,　those　specifically　for　double-inclined　BCJs　remain　limited.　In　this　work,　5　BCJs　were　tested　to　reveal　the　influence　of　the　column　double-inclination　on　their　seismic　performance　and　shear　strength,　as　well　as　the　feasibility　of　adopting　engineered　cementitious　composites　(ECC)　for　performance　remediation　and　joint　stirrup　reduction.　After　that,　finite　element　analysis　was　performed　to　study　the　effects　of　key　parameters　on　the　shear　strengths　of　double-inclined　ECC　BCJs.　Results　indicated　that　the　column　inclination　induced　initial　stress　on　the　column　and　joint　core　under　axial　load,　accelerating　crack　development　and　leading　to　10%　lower　ductility,　9%　less　energy　dissipation　and　15%　lower　shear　strength.　The　adoption　of　ECC　effectively　restrained　damage　development,　leading　to　loading　and　deformation　capacity　substantially　enhanced　by　50%　and　35%.　Furthermore,　the　joint　stirrups　can　be　eliminated　without　significantly　affecting　the　behavior　of　double-inclined　BCJs.　As　revealed　by　finite　element　analysis,　the　lower　joint　shear　strength　of　double-inclined　BCJs　was　mainly　attributed　to　the　uneven　width　of　concrete　strut,　resulting　in　different　shear　strengths　in　opposite　directions.　Moreover,　the　detrimental　effects　of　column　inclination　were　amplified　at　higher　inclination,　while　greater　column　axial　loads　contributed　to　higher　shear　strength　of　double-inclined　ECC　BCJs.　The　ECC　was　recommended　to　extend　into　the　beam　and　column　by　150%　of　sectional　height.　©　2025　Elsevier　Ltd
