Structural connection systems are a major challenge for precast construction systems. A
dowel system requires designers to have sound knowledge of the fundamental …

Many design systems are developed in the context of non-prefabricated buildings, and
cannot be well suitable for prefabricated buildings which are being popular at present. In …

In order to withstand challenges such as earthquakes, it is important to appropriately design
the beam-to-column connection of precast structures. Numerous precast connections were …

The seismic behavior of the beam-column connections in concrete frame is studied in this
paper, including five precast specimens and one cast-in-place specimen. For the precast …

Dapped end prefabricated concrete purlins (PCPs) suffer from shear damages due to
coating, snow, wind load and also their dead loads. In this present study, a series of …

In general, precast concrete structure has insufficient ductility to resist seismic load. Detailed
understanding on the behaviour of precast concrete connections are limited and current …

To enhance the seismic performance of prefabricated concrete frame joints, an innovative
prefabricated beam-column joint with shape memory alloy (SMA) and engineered …

In this study, a novel prefabricated beam-to-column steel joint suitable for precast concrete
structures was developed. The proposed steel joint with dampers could replace cast-in-situ …

Precast construction of structural buildings requires connection techniques that can shorten
the process using only simple on-site activities while still guaranteeing adequate strength …

A new beam-to-column connection developed for precast concrete-resisting frames was
proposed in this article. This connection provided adequate structural integrity in the …
