Robustness of reinforced concrete (RC) structures is an ongoing challenging research topic in the engineering community. During extreme event, loss vertical load-bearing elements can activate large-deformation resisting mechanisms such as membrane and catenary actions beams floor slabs cast-in-situ RC buildings to resist gravity loads. However, few studies have been conducted for precast (PC) b...

The aim of this paper is to present results of testing a full scale reinforced concrete T connection by static loading. The connection represents a beam-column connection. The beam and column had a square cross section with a 300 mm dimension. The height of the column was 2.9 m and the clear beam length was 1.4 m. The connection was initially tested to failure. Galvanised steel straps were used...

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...

In the precast structures, optimization of structural elements is of great interest mainly due to a more rationalized way that elements are produced. There are several elements of precast prestressed concrete that are objects of study in optimization processes, as the prestressed joist applied in buildings slabs. This article inquires into cost minimization of continuous and simply supported sl...

The purpose of this study is to ensure that the building structure able withstand required loads and strengths, as well meet applicable technical safety requirements building. With research, it expected create column, beam, foundation products North Sumatra generation can be marketed construction needs in region. result arrangement beams by modeling using ETABS, largest moment found B30 beam sp...

Steel extended end plate bolted connections are recommended to be widely utilized in special moment-resisting frame subjected to monotonic loading. Improper design of steel beam to column connection can lead to the collapse and fatality of structures. Therefore comprehensive research studies of beam to column connection design should be carried out. Also the performance and effect of corrugated...
