Book Structural Connections for Precast Concrete Buildings

Download or read book Structural Connections for Precast Concrete Buildings written by fib Fédération internationale du béton and published by fib Fédération internationale du béton. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Connections are among the most essential parts in precast structures. Their performance relates to the structural limit states, as well as to manufacture of the precast elements and erection and maintenance of the structure itself. Proper design of connections is one major key to a successful prefabrication. The principal aim of fib Bulletin 43 is to encourage good practice in the design of structural connections in precast concrete structures. This is achieved through a good understanding of structural connections as parts of the overall structural system and of basic force transferring mechanisms. The bulletin consists of two parts; the first part concerns general considerations and philosophy in the design of structural connections, and the second part deals with basic force transferring mechanisms within structural connections. The main focus is on the design of structural connections with regard to their structural function in ordinary design situations in the serviceability and ultimate limit states, and in accidental/abnormal design situations, like fire, lack of fit and impact/accidental loads. Other aspects considered include production, handling and site erection of elements, building physics, durability and maintenance. Bulletin 43 applies to structural connections for precast concrete buildings, although the information on basic force transfer mechanisms can also be applicable to other types of prefabricated structures.

Book Precast concrete buildings in seismic areas

Download or read book Precast concrete buildings in seismic areas written by FIB – Féd. Int. du Béton and published by FIB - Féd. Int. du Béton. This book was released on 2016 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document has a broad scope and is not focussed on design issues. Precast construction under seismic conditions is treated as a whole. The main principles of seismic design of different structural systems, their behavior and their construction techniques are presented through rules, construction steps and sequences, procedures, and details that should lead to precast structures built in seismic areas complying with the fundamental performance requirements of collapse prevention and life safety in major earthquakes and limited damage in more frequent earthquakes. The content of this document is largely limited to conventional precast construction and, although some information is provided on the well-known “PRESSS technology” (jointed ductile dry connections), this latter solution is not treated in detail in this document. The general overview, contained in this document, of alternative structural systems and connection solutions available to achieve desired performance levels, intends to provide engineers, architects, clients, and end-users (in general) with a better appreciation of the wide range of applications that modern precast concrete technology can have in various types of construction from industrial to commercial as well as residential. Lastly, the emphasis on practical aspects, from conceptual design to connection detailing, aims to help engineers to move away from the habit of blindly following prescriptive codes in their design, but instead go back to basic principles, in order to achieve a more robust understanding, and thus control, of the seismic behaviour of the structural system as a whole, as well as of its components and individual connections.

Book Interface Slip Behavior of Composite Prestressed Concrete Beams

Download or read book Interface Slip Behavior of Composite Prestressed Concrete Beams written by S. B. Nosseir and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report deals with the interface shear strength and slip behavior of post tensioned concrete composite beams. The interface between the two composite elements was positioned on the centroidal axis of the composite cross section. Eleven simply supported beams with 8-foot spans were statically loaded to failure. The effect of interface roughness and web reinforcement on relative slip between the composite elements was studied. Web reinforcement crossing the interface and roughness of interface decreased the rate of relative slip and allowed increased magnitudes of slip before failure. Interface roughness and web steel improved the integrity, strength, and energy-absorption capacity of the composite beams. The ultimate interface shear resistances determined from the tests were higher than those recommended by the ACI code. (Author).

Book Experimental Investigation of Shear Transfer Between Concrete Interfaces

Download or read book Experimental Investigation of Shear Transfer Between Concrete Interfaces written by Joshua Brice Massey and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This experimental program was focused on the effect of surface geometry (shear keys) on the transmission of shear forces between concrete cast against a hardened concrete interface. This research was part of a larger study at The University of Texas at Austin focused on several aspects of spliced precast concrete girder technology, particularly those concerning the interface between precast girders and cast-in-place splices. 14 push-through type specimens were tested with varying surface geometries, interface reinforcement ratios, and levels of prestress normal to the interface. The surface types considered included smooth, single shear keys, multiple shear keys, saw teeth of multiple depths and a monolithic specimen for comparison. The principle findings were that surfaces with properly detailed indentations could transfer significantly higher shear forces before slip occurred than smooth surfaces, and that shear keys generally displaced better performance than saw-teeth. Forces from prestress and yielding of reinforcement crossing the interface during failure were found to contribute to the strength in effectively the same manner. In addition, the shear friction based provisions of ACI 318-11, AASTHO LRFD 2012, and Eurocode 2 were found to provide satisfactory predictions of the ultimate strength of such surfaces with reinforcement ratios less than 0.75 %.

Book Special Design Considerations for Precast Prestressed Hollow Core Floors

Download or read book Special Design Considerations for Precast Prestressed Hollow Core Floors written by fib Fédération internationale du béton and published by fib Fédération internationale du béton. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The former FIP Commission Prefabrication drafted the FIP Recommendations on the design of Precast prestressed hollow core floors, published by FIP in 1988 (Telford, London, ISBN 0-7277-1375-2). That document was highly appreciated by designers and public authorities because of the lack of guidance available elsewhere, especially with respect to some specific features of the product, for example the absence of transverse reinforcement. It has also served as a reference guide for national standards and especially for the CEN product standard on prestressed hollow core slabs. During the production of that report it was felt that some design rules were incomplete or missing. In addition, research carried out since has resulted in complementary knowledge on the behaviour of hollow core floors, for example in combination with slender floor beams. The present guide to good practice is intended to complement the existing recommendations. The research for the different items was carried out at Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden), Politecnico di Torino (Italy), VTT (Finland), University of Nottingham (United Kingdom), Building Research Institute (Poland), and the University of Rome (Italy).

Book fib Model Code for Concrete Structures 2010

Download or read book fib Model Code for Concrete Structures 2010 written by fib - federation internationale du beton and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-12-04 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Federation for Structural Concrete (fib) is a pre-normative organization. 'Pre-normative' implies pioneering work in codification. This work has now been realized with the fib Model Code 2010. The objectives of the fib Model Code 2010 are to serve as a basis for future codes for concrete structures, and present new developments with regard to concrete structures, structural materials and new ideas in order to achieve optimum behaviour. The fib Model Code 2010 is now the most comprehensive code on concrete structures, including their complete life cycle: conceptual design, dimensioning, construction, conservation and dismantlement. It is expected to become an important document for both national and international code committees, practitioners and researchers. The fib Model Code 2010 was produced during the last ten years through an exceptional effort by Joost Walraven (Convener; Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands), Agnieszka Bigaj-van Vliet (Technical Secretary; TNO Built Environment and Geosciences, The Netherlands) as well as experts out of 44 countries from five continents.
