Connections in Precast Concrete Elements

Article Preview

Abstract:

The structural integrity of precast concrete structures depends mainly on the connections between the precast structural elements. The purpose of a connection is to transfer loads, restrain movement, and/or to provide stability to a component or an entire structure. Therefore, the design of connections is one of the most important aspects in the design of precast concrete structures. All connections should design with valid codes. Every precasters have developed connection details over the years that suit their particular production and erection preferences. It is common, that the structural engineer to show loads and connection locations and allow the successful manufacturer’s engineering department to provide the final design and details of the connections.
