To explore the performance of the flexible nodes between the precast concrete exterior wall cladding panel and the frame structure, a steel truss is used as an analogue of the frame structure to develop a test. In the test, one precast concrete exterior wall cladding panel was installed on the steel truss, and the connection nodes are designed to be able to slip vertically. Different horizontal forces were exerted on the steel truss to form certain drifts, and the deformation of panel and the slipping performance of the connection nodes were explored. It is found that precast concrete exterior wall cladding panel won’t deform under the influence of the drifts, while the connection nodes between the frame structure and the panel were found to slip. The results show that the design of slipping connection node has enough reliability.

A new connection measure between the precast concrete (PC) cladding panel and PC frame structure is proposed to realize a new kind of isostatic frame-cladding system. Three full-scale PC wall-frame substructures were tested under the quasi-static load. These substructures included a bare wall-frame specimen, a specimen with a cladding panel that has no opening, and a specimen with a cladding panel that has an opening in it. The damage evolution, failure mode, load-bearing capacity, deformation capacity, and energy dissipation capacity of three specimens were compared. The results indicated that the motions of the cladding panels and the main structures were uncoupled through the relative clearance of the bottom connections, and three specimens exhibited approximately identical failure modes and seismic performance. Thus, the reliability of this new isostatic system was validated.

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.

In order to study the dynamic response of adjacent buildings in the process of tunnel blasting excavation, taking Yangjia tunnel blasting through a five-story frame structure residential building as an example, the propagation law of blasting seismic wave was analyzed by using HHT method through on-site blasting monitoring. Then, the ALE algorithm in ANSYS/LS-DYNA software was used to establish a three-dimensional numerical model based on the surrounding rock-cutting section-structure coupling to study the dynamic response of adjacent buildings under the blasting vibration of tunnel. The results show that the HHT analysis method can clearly describe the energy distribution of vibration signals in the time and frequency domain. The energy carried by the blasting vibration signal is corresponding to the detonating section, and the maximum energy appears in the cutting section, which further verifying that the vibration effect caused by the cutting hole blasting is the strongest. In the process of tunnel blasting, the dynamic responses of beams, columns and exterior walls of adjacent buildings are not consistent and show different variation rules along the height direction. In addition, the stress centralization mainly occurs in the exterior wall of the building, the joint of the exterior wall and the column, the joint of the exterior wall and the beam, and the joint of the exterior wall and the floor and other non-weight bearing area, indicating that these parts are more likely to damage and crack in the process of tunnel blasting.

Seismic design requirements for precast concrete cladding panel connections have evolved significantly over the past fifty years. This paper summarizes the pertinent requirements from the Uniform Building Code from 1967 to 1997, and the International Building Code 2000. A hypothetical design illustrates how emphasis in the code has evolved for both lateral force requirements and story drift displacement requirements arriving at a balance of moderate lateral force and displacement requirements. The numerical results are based on a hypothetical case of panel connections for a ten-story moment-resisting steel frame structure built in seismic Zone 4. This historical summary is of value to designers who deal with the seismic rehabilitation of precast panel connections.

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.
