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 …

Nowadays precast concrete multi‐story dual system structures require Finite Element
Method structural analysis. The stiffness of the vertical connections between wall panels …

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 …

This paper investigates the seismic response of lightly reinforced precast concrete shear
walls typically used for low-to mid-rise residential systems in past and current Dutch building …

Reinforced concrete shear walls are commonly used in buildings to resist lateral loads due
to wind and seismic action. They are typically either cast-in-place or precast, with the latter …

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 …

Expeditious urbanization and population rise around the globe has fostered the need of
speedy and efficient construction, thus generating immense pressure on the construction …

This chapter discusses in detail the results of the combined flexure/shear experiments. The
specimens under monotonic loading condition are treated first in section 6.2. The specimens …

This paper compares the measured lateral load behavior of a 0.4-scale" hybrid" precast
concrete wall test specimen with the behavior of a second precast specimen designed to …
