A method to predict the column size for displacement based design of reinforced concrete frame buildings with higher target inter storey drift is reported here. The column depth derived from empirical relation as a function of given beam section, target inter-story drift, building plan features and common displacement based design parameters is used. Regarding the high drift requirement, a mini...

P-Delta is a nonlinear phenomenon that results from the consideration of axial loads acting on deformed configuration member structure, usually beam-column. This effect especially significant in slender members, which can undergo large transversal displacements tend to increase bending moment caused by an load P upon them. The P-delta be computed through geometrically analysis, employing Finite...

In this paper, a prestressed precast reinforced concrete (PC) beam–column connection incorporating posttensioned debonded partial tendons is introduced for PC frame structure. Compared with the conventional cast-in-place frames and many previously proposed connections frames, has advantage of self-centering low damage in strong earthquakes. addition, can reduce posttensioning demand further sit...

Precast concrete structure is a low-carbon building system that has been attracting extensive attention in recent decades. Beam–column joints are the weak links precast structures. Past studies showed five-spiral stirrups had excellent confinement effects and potential to enhance seismic performance of This study proposed reinforcement beam–column by using investigated their performance. Consid...
