An industrialized multi-layer precast concrete building with middle-joint beams and columns frame system has been developed by China VANKE CO., LTD. The building is the first industrialized multi-layer precast concrete building for experimental purpose in China. A middle-joint beams and columns method has been utilized with beams and columns split in the middle place. The whole frame structure is then integrated into a unity through precast beams, precast columns, and reliable cast-in-place column-column and beam-beam joints. This paper presents the key points and difficulties during the building design process, introduces the structural design of column-column and beam-beam joints, and analyses the advantages and weaknesses of middle-joint beams and columns frame system.

Precast Prestressed Concrete

Precast monolithic structures are increasingly applied in construction. Such a structure has a performance somewhere between that of a pure precast structure and that of a cast-in-place structure. A precast concrete frame structure is one of the most common prefabricated structural systems. The post-pouring joint is important for controlling the seismic performance of the entire precast monolithic frame structure. This paper investigated the joints of a precast prestressed concrete frame structure. A reversed cyclic loading test was carried out on two precast prestressed concrete beam–column joints that were fabricated with two different concrete strengths in the keyway area. This testing was also performed on a cast-in-place reinforced concrete joint for comparison. The phenomena such as joint crack development, yielding, and ultimate damage were observed, and the seismic performance of the proposed precast prestressed concrete joint was determined. The results showed that the precast prestressed concrete joint and the cast-in-place joint had a similar failure mode. The stiffness, bearing capacity, ductility, and energy dissipation were comparable. The hysteresis curves were full and showed that the joints had good energy dissipation. The presence of prestressing tendons limited the development of cracks in the precast beams. The concrete strength of the keyway area had little effect on the seismic performance of the precast prestressed concrete joints. The precast prestressed concrete joints had a seismic performance that was comparable to the equivalent monolithic system.

The paper describes the dynamic and static analyses and design of a four storey ductile reinforced concrete frame structure isolated from the foundations by elastomeric bearings incorporating lead energy dampers. Results from inelastic, time-history analyses for the isolated and non-isolated structure are compared for several input earthquake motions. The benefits of energy dampers in reducing the isolated building's response (shears, plastic hinge demands and interstorey drifts) are detailed. Differences from conventional ductile design and detailing as well as design recommendations are included.

The strong earthquakes occurred in Southern Europe in the last decade pointed out a poor seismic performance of the connection system of the cladding of precast industrial structures. The cladding of these buildings usually consists of sandwich concrete panels of remarkable mass, connected to the frame structure with mechanical devices. The estimation of the out-of-plane seismic action on these connections is a key step for their correct proportioning. However, the formulation currently provided in the Eurocode 8 for the estimation of the seismic action on non-structural elements was calibrated with different objectives. Furthermore, given there is no in-plane structure-panel interaction, a quote of the panel mass is lumped in correspondence of their connection for a correct proportioning of the frame structure. The designers need to make assumptions on both aspects that often bring to remarkably different solutions. The paper presents a consistent dynamic formulation of the problem of the vibration of rigid bodies connected with cantilever columns. The solution brings to closed-form equations to evaluate the exact out-of-plane action on the connections and the correct amount of panel mass to be lumped.

The crack development of two cast-in-situ RC frame structures subjected to lateral loading was investigated. Then the develop reasons were analyzed. The investigation indicates that the existence of monolithic slab in reinforced concrete frame structure overstrengthened the actual flexural capability of longitudinal beams. Therefore, the participation of monolithic slabs should be made in consideration in structural design to achieve the strong column weak beam philosophy.

Construction Mode

With the development of prefabricated buildings, the construction mode of buildings has changed greatly. Infilled wall is an important part of architecture. The traditional manual masonry method is not suitable for the construction of prefabricated buildings. Precast concrete infilled wall, as a form of infilled wall suitable for the construction of prefabricated buildings, came into being. Infilled wall has a great influence on the performance of frame structure. Compared with the traditional masonry infilled wall, the concrete infilled wall has greater stiffness, better integrity and stronger bearing capacity. Based on the existing research, this paper analyzes the influence of the height width ratio of the concrete infilled wall, the wall thickness, and the tie mode with the frame on the structural performance through the finite element software Atena. Combined with the results of practical engineering modal analysis, this paper evaluates the value method of natural vibration period of concrete frame infilled wall structure, and puts forward some suggestions for Chinese codes.
