Beam to Column Connections for Precast Concrete Moment Resisting Frames

摘要

This study was performed as one phase of an extensive research program focusing on the seismic behavior of precast connections. The primary objective of the research program was to observe and investigate the seismic behavior of the connection detail proposed by the collaborating company and the specimens with improved details, in order to develop a 'moment resisting precast concrete beam-to-beam connection'. In this study, beam-column connection subassemblies were tested under reversed cyclic loading simulating severe earthquake action.
