Abstract Because of the serious impact on seismic performance, joint connection form becomes a critical problem in prefabricated building. Built dry connection, this paper proposes detachable and recyclable bolt-steel plate design for fabricated structure. Compared to cast-in-situ method, biggest advantage proposed scheme lies convenient construction. The construction process shows that devices...

We develop a notion of higher-order connector towards supporting the systematic construction of architectural connectors for software design. The idea is that individual properties of connectors, such as security and fault-tolerance, can be designed separately as higher-order connectors. Complex connectors can then be described as suitable combinations of high-order connectors and basic connect...

Concrete-timber composite floor is a construction technique combining two materials, concrete and timber, connected together using some form of interlayer shear connectors either positioned discretely or continuously along the span of the floor. The interlayer connections provide the desired composite action, where the degree of this composite action is governed by the types of connection syste...

This study investigated the use of self-compacting concrete (SCC) made with recycled coarse aggregates (RCAs), which represents a trend producing environment-friendly concrete, integrated hot-rolled steel sections by means headed stud shear connectors in composite structures. Therefore, thirty-six push-out test specimens were examined to assess strength and behavior embedded RCA-SCC, compressiv...

In building envelopes, sandwich elements with facings made of glass currently require either adhesives or mechanical connectors. The avoidance any connectors seems to be favorable in terms resource and energy savings both production envelopes. present studies are part the development a glass-rigid foam-concrete element without additional This paper reports on structural bond behavior between po...
