The article deals with the behaviour of a contact-monolithic joint of large-panel buildings under compression. It gives a detailed analysis and the descriptions of the stages of such joints failure based on the results of the tests and computational modelling. The article is of interest to specialists who deal with computational modelling or the research of large-panel multi-storey buildings. The text gives a valuable information on the values of their bearing capacity and flexibility, the eccentricity of load transfer from upper panel to lower, the value of thrust passed to a ceiling panel. Recommendations are given to estimate all the above-listed parameters.
