Abstract: To improve shear capacity, as well as reduce on-site casting and steel consumption, a novel Y-shaped perfobond rib (Y-PBL) shear connector with ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) grout was proposed. The shear behavior ...

Abstract: Connections between prefabricated concrete panels (PCPs) are susceptible to cracking and damage, attracting the attention of bridge engineers. Curved bolt connections have ideal flexural performance when they have an ...
