The behaviour of reinforced concrete precast beams is strongly influenced by the flexural stiffness of its beam-column connections, wherein there is interdependence between the nonlinearity of the moment-curvature ...

The behaviour of prestressed precast beams is directly affected by the rotational stiffness of the end connections. Although the prestressed beam presents a linear behaviour in service, the effective behaviour of the ...

A model capable of predicting the shear response of beam-column joints subjected to seismic actions is presented. The analytical model, originally developed for walls and based on a simple physical formulation, is adapted. ...

This paper reports the results of full-scale tests in beam-to-column connections for composite slim floor systems, including tests on Bare Steel connection and composite connection. The tested system consists of a ...

The present research deals with the study of continuity in slab-beam-column connections in precast concrete structures, wherein an experimental investigation about the contribution of longitudinal reinforced bars, passing ...
