The rapid development of China’s construction industrialization process has led to increased research into prefabricated building structures. In comparison cast-in-place construction, buildings offer many advantages. Increasingly important been on joints’ seismic performance. A beam, slab, column, and wall’s connection affects its performance, each joint different characteristics. light this, t...

The seismic behaviour of reinforced concrete structures built with plain reinforcing bars is sometimes conditioned by the slippage between and surrounding in elements as exterior beam-column joints. anchorage beam core joint weak confinement, inappropriate reinforcement detailing for loads poor bond properties are common reasons collapse many structures. This paper presents results four unidire...

Upgraded design standards coupled with the damage caused by natural disasters have led to development of smart materials potential modernize current construction practices. This investigation proposes a nonlinear finite element (FE) model for evaluating performance beam–column joints (RC-BCJ) reinforced shape memory alloys (SMA) and steel rebars. The was validated based on accredited experiment...

In order to investigate the seismic performance of prestressed concrete rocking frame (PCRF), a theoretical model based on rigid body is established for one-story single-span PCRF. The PCRF studied in this paper has connecting interfaces set at column feet and inner faces beam–column joints, allowing columns be uplifted with accompanying separation interface rotation beam around interface. tend...
