Abstract: ACI 318-19 and ASCE 7-22 specify code-compliant and emulative seismic force-resisting systems (SFRS) including intermediate precast shear wall systems. For the seismic design of a precast shear wall system, its successful ...

Abstract: Various plastic hinge relocation methods were studied to improve the earthquake resistance of emulative precast concrete (PC) beam-column connections using PC U-shell beams. The present study used two strengthening methods ...

Abstract: An experimental study was performed to investigate the unbalanced moment-carrying capacity of slab-column connections reinforced with lattice shear reinforcement. Cyclic loading tests were performed on four specimens with ...

Abstract: Precast prestressed hollow core slabs (PPHCSs) are widely used in the construction of multistory cross-wall structures, but the floors are vulnerable to progressive collapse induced by unexpected loadings due to weak links ...

Abstract: Current design codes specify the need for two-way shear strength analysis for prestressed slab-to-column connections. This paper is an investigative study of said interaction for post-tensioned (PT) transfer slabs. Two-way ...
