Experimental study on a precast beam-column joint with double grouted splice sleeves

Performance of the Modified Precast Beam to Column Connection Placed on a Concrete Corbel

Precast concrete structures in Iran are generally designed as continuous columns with hinged beams, thereby making them simple frames. In this system in site show walls in two directions of buildings guaranteed lateral resisting system. However, in order to obtain a seismic resisting frame, the connection between beam and column should be moment resisting and ductile, allowing the formation of ...

Experimental Study on Flexural Behavior of Precast Concrete Shear Walls with Vertical Joint

Computational and Experimental Mechanical Modelling of a Composite Grouted Splice Sleeve Connector System

Owing to its controllable tolerance, simple operation and no need for welding at construction site, the composite system involving grouted cement material, steel material and ductile iron material is widely used as grouted splice sleeve (GSS) connector for connecting precast concrete structures. However, the current design recommendations for such a composite connection system do not accurately...

Experimental study of grouted sleeve lapping connector under tensile load

The performance of the grouted sleeve lapping connector that is used to connect reinforcement bars in a precast concrete structure is studied. A total of 63 specimens, varying in bar diameter and lap length, were tested under tensile load. The failure modes, ultimate tensile strength values and load-displacement curves of the specimens are discussed in the study. Two equations are proposed for ...

A Study on the Ductility of Bolted Beam - Column Connections

The behaviour of beam-column joint plays an important role in the response of a steel moment resisting framed structure especially under seismic excitation. Semi rigid connections like bolted joints, allow better energy dissipation and provide good response under lateral loads. In this paper the ductility and energy dissipation characteristics of semi rigid bolted connections using double web a...
