Simplified design for mechanical connections between precast concrete structural elements in buildings
This document refers to connections in precast frame systems, either for single-storey or multi-storey buildings. The connections for all orders of joints are considered. Large wall panel and three-dimensional cell systems are not considered.
According to the position in the overall construction and of the consequent different structural functions, the seven following orders of joints are considered:
Simple bearings working by gravity load friction are not considered. Sliding and elastic deformable supporting devices neither, being all these types of connections not suitable for the transmission of seismic actions.
The document provides formulae for the strength design of a large number of joint typologies.
