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 …

This paper presents a study on the connection between the exterior and interior precast
concrete walls. The connection between the walls is called loop bars connection. Between …

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

The performance of precast concrete loadbearing shear wall panel structures duringian
earthquake relies on the behavior and integrity of the connections between the panels …

In high rise buildings that utilize precast large panel system for construction, the shear wall
provides strength and stiffness during earthquakes. The performance of a wall panel system …

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 …

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 objective of this study is to investigate the shear resisting capacity of precast wall-to-wall
horizontal connection system by dowel action and shear friction. Three types of connection …

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 …

The behavior of precast members in whole structure is different than cast in situ member due
to their joints condition. So it is important to study the behavior of precast concrete member …
