In this paper, the seismic behaviors of four precast shear wall specimens and one cast-in-
place shear wall specimen are investigated by pseudo-static test method. For the precast …

The plastic hinges of precast concrete columns with grouted sleeves commonly occur at the
column-footing connection regions, leading to difficulties in the repair and rehabilitation of …

In recent years accelerated bridge construction (ABC) has become increasingly popular all
over the world because of its good quality, cost effectiveness and decreasing bridge …

The construction speed and quality of precast frame structures are greatly influenced by
weld, tie, prestress, cast concrete requirements, etc. on site. To address these challenges, a …

Due to the existence of pump and vent holes, precast reinforced concrete (RC) structure with
grouted sleeve connections may have serious durability issues, which have almost never …

The performances of grouting sleeves for connections (GSCs) were critical for safety of
prefabricated concrete structures especially after building fire. The consideration of concrete …

The mechanical behaviours of the rebar in steel half-grouted sleeve connections with
constructional deficiencies in the water/binder grout ratio were experimentally investigated …

The present article analyses the influence of defects in the bonding zone between the
reinforcement bar and the grout on the mechanical performance of the full-grouted sleeve …

An innovative precast concrete column system, which is expected to be emulative to
conventional cast-in-situ columns, is proposed in this paper. In this system, short novel …

In this paper, 12 laminated reinforced concrete shear walls are designed for cyclic loading
tests. Seismic performance of laminated reinforced concrete shear walls with vertical seams …
