Experimental studies of compliance of vertical joints used in construction of high-rise panel buildings

摘要

The results of the experimental studies of the vertical joint compliance used in the construction of the high-rise panel buildings are presented in this article. The vertical joints with various concrete grades, thickness of the panels, number and mutual bracing of the mating elements were used in this research conducted for LLC ?LSR? in MGSU. The compliance ratios were measured on three steps: from the beginning of loading till the crack formation in one of the elements – I1; from the beginning of loading till maximal load – I2; from crack formation till maximal load – I3. Gained values can be used as basic data for structural engineering of panel high-rise buildings.
