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

This paper proposed a replaceable friction-type artificial plastic hinge (FAPH) to connect the
prefabricated concrete members, characterized by direct load transmission and streamlined …

The seismic behavior of the beam-column connections in concrete frame is studied in this
paper, including five precast specimens and one cast-in-place specimen. For the precast …

The results of an experimental campaign concerning full-scale tests on precast reinforced
concrete column-to-column connections made with grouted sleeve splices are presented …

In this paper, a finite element modelling approach is developed for the analysis of the cyclic
behavior of precast beam-to-column connections. In particular, the modelling takes into …

To develop a precast concrete frame suitable for high seismic zones, a new precast concrete
beam-column connection with an additional all-steel bamboo-shaped energy dissipater is …

This paper presents the numerical investigation of the seismic performance of post-
tensioned self-centering precast concrete (SCPC) frames with variable friction dampers …

In this paper, a novel type of precast concrete beam-column connection based on the ideal
plastic hinge failure mechanism is proposed. This connection mainly includes a hinge shaft …

Grouted sleeve connector is one of the most widely used connections in precast concrete
structures. However, various defects may be introduced in the grouted sleeve connectors …

This paper presents an experimental and analytical study on mechanical behaviour of two
kinds of new low-cost grouted sleeves processed by seamless steel pipe, ie, grouted sleeve …
