The performances of grouting sleeves for connections (GSCs) were critical for safety of
prefabricated concrete structures especially after building fire. The consideration of concrete …

This study presents a new connection method using ultra-high performance concrete
(UHPC), called UHPC-based gravity-type connection, to overcome the drawbacks of the …

The half grouted sleeve connection (HGSC) is widely adopted in the construction of precast
concrete (PC) structures. So far, a few studies have been developed on the mechanical …

Previous studies have shown that the mechanical properties of the sleeve grouting
connection under cyclic loading are different from the static properties, but the influence of …

Sleeve grouting defects are one of the most common issues for the prefab structure and may
cause the significant safety hazards for the assembled buildings. In seismic zones …

Grouted sleeve splices are widely used in precast-concrete (PC) structures. Although
extensive tensile tests have been conducted on grouted sleeves, the force mechanism and …

Grouted sleeve connections have been widely used in precast construction for joining rebar.
In order to study their post-fire seismic performance, grouted sleeve connections, which are …

A series of pull‐out tests were conducted on semi‐grouting sleeve and steel bar connections
to investigate the mechanical behavior of the connectors. Taking the steel bar diameter …

Fire is one of the main objects of study at the cutting edge of the research on disaster
prevention and mitigation in structures. In the event of a fire, the mechanical properties of the …

In recent years, the risks of natural (earthquakes) and artificial (terrorist attacks) disasters to
buildings and communities have attracted increasing attention. On the other hand, an …
