Bar splice methods have always been studied and discussed by structural engineers due to
their crucial influence on the seismic performance of RC elements and structures. In the …

The performance of both non-spliced and spliced steel bars significantly affects the overall
performance of structural reinforced concrete elements. In this context, the mechanical …

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 …

This study presents a new connection method using ultra-high performance concrete
(UHPC), called UHPC-based gravity-type connection, to overcome the drawbacks of the …

To investigate the influence of internal defects of semi-grouted sleeve connections on the
seismic performance of precast monolithic columns, four specimens of precast monolithic …

This paper presents a systematic numerical study on the structural performance of a newly
developed quick-buildable beam-column joint with double-grouted sleeves considering its …

This study investigates a novel prefabricated concrete frame beam with an innovative
assembly pattern that is cost-effective, reliable, practical, and has a good fault-tolerance …

Seismic activities can cause considerable damage to the integrity of the reinforced concrete
and precast concrete structures, particularly in the beam-to-column joints. This article …

In this study, by modifying the method of making a threaded splice and combining it with
rotary friction welding, two types of patches are introduced. The aim is to modify the failure …

High-strength steel (HSS) bars can solve bar congestion problem in beam-column joints of
monolithic precast concrete frame structure. Unfortunately, its application in precast concrete …
