A steel-fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite bar (SFCB) is a novel reinforcement
composed of an inner steel bar and outer continuous FRP. Moreover, SFCBs have excellent …

Prefabricated reinforced concrete (RC) column-to-foundation connections are typically
located at the critical region of the columns and are subjected to a combination of large …

To solve the problems of invisible grouting processes and grouting defects in the vertical
connection of traditional grouted sleeves, four inverted exposed grouted sleeve (IEGS) …

The application of prefabricated concrete columns with grouted sleeves (PCC-GSs) in
moderate and high seismic regions is scarce owing to a lack of knowledge about their …

Precast columns are widely adopted in Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) due to its fast
construction speed, environment amity and little interference to existing traffic. The bending …

The seismic performance and design method of fabricated concrete bridge piers limit their
applications in complex and harsh environments. In this study, a continuous bridge pier in …

In this study, shear damage development of four precast bridge columns with different
connection design details are first examined via quasi-static test. The short columns are of …

Grouted sleeves are widely adopted in accelerated bridge construction (ABC), and
connecting column segments by splice joints. As a part of column structure in prefabricated …

To improve the installation efficiency of precast concrete (PC) columns with grouted sleeve
connections, increasing the diameter of longitudinal rebar but keeping similar reinforcement …

Grouted sleeve connections have been developed in various precast structures such as
columns in buildings and bridges. When they are used in precast columns, the aspect ratio …
