Structural connection systems are a major challenge for precast construction systems. A
dowel system requires designers to have sound knowledge of the fundamental …

In general, precast concrete structure has insufficient ductility to resist seismic load. Detailed
understanding on the behaviour of precast concrete connections are limited and current …

In this study, a novel prefabricated beam-to-column steel joint suitable for precast concrete
structures was developed. The proposed steel joint with dampers could replace cast-in-situ …

In this study, two new moment resisting connections of beams to precast concrete columns
under lateral load were analyzed via application of nonlinear finite element analysis …

A new precast concrete beam-to-column connection for moment-resisting frames was
developed in this study. Both longitudinal bar anchoring and lap splicing were used to …

A novel prefabricated beam-to-column steel joint (PSJ) for precast concrete structures was
proposed in this study. The joint had the advantages of easier to fabricate and more …

Progressive collapse denotes a failure of a major portion of a structure that has been
initiated by failure of a relatively small part of the structure such as failure of any vertical load …

This paper aims to develop a new precast beam-column connection with U-shaped bars and
ECC materials, which eliminates the need for formworks, welding and bolting. In this paper …

Progressive collapse is defined as the expansion of an initial local failure of an element into
another element of the structure and ultimately leading to the collapse of the whole structure …

Connections are important elements of precast structures as they introduce discontinuity
between the elements affecting strength and stiffness. In the present study, locally available …
