Precast concrete shear walls are used to resist lateral loads in low-to medium-rise buildings.
This paper introduces an innovated joining technique for these precast walls that will reduce …

The anchor-jointed precast structural shear wall system is a novel structure. In this system,
precast shear walls are jointed together and/or to the foundation using threaded steel …

The seismic resistance of an innovative precast reinforced concrete shear wall with vertical
plates along its bottom edge to be bolted to plates protruding from the foundation was tested …

Strengthening of the structures with external shear walls recently has become an attractive
alternative compared to conventional strengthening methods. These external shear walls …

Precast concrete structures behave differently than equivalent in-situ cast solutions mainly
because of the narrow connections between the precast elements. In this context, the keyed …

This paper is concerned about precast reinforced concrete shear walls and the methods of
assembling shear wall panels to form a reliable load transfer system. An assembling method …

The precast shear wall structure has outstanding features for green buildings due to its
construction convenience, safety, high quality and low pollution. In general, precast concrete …

A novel precast concrete (PC) shear wall was proposed by disconnecting the vertical rebars
in the middle zone of the wall and using grouted sleeve connections for section steels at wall …

As precast concrete (PC) shear walls have been widely used in housing industrialization,
reliable connections are important to ensure structural integrity of prefabricated shear walls …

Industrialized building system (IBS) is the term used to represent the concept of
prefabrication, and it has been widely used worldwide. In the last few decades, all the …
