Prefabricated construction (PC), with the characteristics of green, environmentally friendly,
energy saving and high production efficiency, is attracting more and more attention from all …

Corrosion as a major threat to civil infrastructures has been extensively investigated for
decades. For precast concrete structures, corrosion medium are easier to penetrate into …

Compared with the conventional cast-in-situ method, prefabricated construction (PC) is a
sustainable construction method. In China, the sustainable performance qualities of PC …

This study investigated the concrete-to-concrete friction behavior under dynamic cyclic
loading at different loading rates, vertical loads, and surface roughness. The present work …

Prefabricated beam–column connections are the most vulnerable components of
prefabricated buildings during earthquake events. The seismic performance of the beam …

Concrete-to-concrete interfaces are common in new reinforced concrete structures with
different casting stages and or with precast members with cast-in-place parts, as well as in …

A semi-slab of precast concrete (or half-slab) is a structural system that consists of concrete
at the bottom half of a slab and concrete cast in situ at the top. To avoid traditional formwork …

Ductility of reinforced concrete (RC) connections is of paramount importance in seismic
regions with regard to energy dissipation. Research has suggested that the presence of …

Highly ductile cement-based materials have emerged as alternatives to conventional
concrete materials to improve the seismic resistance of reinforced concrete (RC) structures …
