The design of connections is one of the most important considerations in the structural design of precast concrete structures. The purpose of the connection is to transfer loads, restrain movement and provide stability. Within one joint there may be several load transfers, each one must be designed for adequate strength and ductility and appropriately detailed. The proposed investigation aims to achieve efficient horizontal connections in precast walls with improved structural performance under various loads. HYSD reinforcement dowels are used as connectors. The arrangement of dowels is varied to achieve the efficient load transfer in the walls. The experimental investigation on three precast wall and one monolithic wall depicts that the precast wall exhibits high strength than the monolithic wall specimen and structural performance were found to be better than the monolithic wall specimen and also the efficient load transfer is achieved in the precast wall

This paper presents work developing thin precast concrete sandwich panels for recladding and overcladding applications. These panels are designed for the retrofit of precast concrete structures where the underlying frame is structurally sound. Structural and thermal testing has been carried out to validate the performance of the panels. The panels are designed to have thermal performance better than current national standards, and this has been verified through hot-box testing of components and small-scale panels. Structural performance of the panels has been tested with 3 point bending tests on full-scale panels. Work is in progress towards demonstration of the panels on an occupied building in the UK.

Fibre Reinforced Polymer

Over the years, precast concrete construction has been employed in many parts of the world mainly because it is less labour intensive and rapid. However, its connection remains in many cases an issue that requires careful consideration at both the design and construction stages. More precisely, the ductility and rotational stiffness are often challenging factors that need to be considered. In that perspective, this work focuses on finding the improvement of a precast beam-to-column connection with strengthening from fibre reinforced polymer (FRP). High strength basalt fibre fabric was used in this particular study. The study revealed a net improvement in the connection’s rotational stiffness and ductility. It was also found that the addition of a steel plate on top of the FRP contributed to maintaining the strength of the connection under late plastic deformation.

This paper proposed a hybrid precast concrete shear wall emulating monolithic construction (HPWEM) that utilized grouted vertical connecting reinforcements and unbonded posttensioned high-strength strands across the horizontal joint for the lateral resistance. The grouted reinforcements with predetermined debond length were used to provide strength by tension and energy dissipation by yielding. The posttensioned strands were mainly employed to offer the restoring force to reduce the residual displacement by elastic extension. The overlapping welded closed stirrups improved the confinement property of the restrained concrete, avoiding the brittle failure. Six HPWEM specimens, considering variables including the amounts of strands and the debond lengths of grouted reinforcements, as well as one referenced cast-in-place monolithic wall specimen, were tested under the low-cycle reversed lateral load. The HPWEM specimens were capable of providing strength, stiffness, ductility, and energy dissipation equivalent to that of the monolithic wall specimen under certain variable condition.

In this study, experiments and numerical analyses were carried out to examine the flexural and shear performance of a double composite wall (DCW) manufactured using a precast concrete (PC) method. One flexural specimen and three shear specimens were fabricated, and the effect of the bolts used for the assembly of the PC panels on the shear strength of the DCW was investigated. The failure mode, flexural and shear behavior, and composite behavior of the PC panel and cast-in-place (CIP) concrete were analyzed in detail, and the behavioral characteristics of the DCW were clearly identified by comparing the results of tests with those obtained from a non-linear flexural analysis and finite element analysis. Based on the test and analysis results, this study proposed a practical equation for reasonably estimating the shear strength of a DCW section composed of PC, CIP concrete, and bolts utilizing the current code equations.
