Precast concrete members need to be connected effectively to form an integral structural system. Use of unstressed strands provides a cost-effective a......
This paper presents the results of experimental and analytical studies on the stress relaxation behavior of steel strand under combined prestressing f......
Precast, prestressed concrete hollow-core slabs are widely used for floor decks in office and residential buildings and in parking structures. Althoug......
When studying the out-of-plane performance of a composite slab, distributing the load on the top slab surface may overestimate the integrity of the co......
The stringent control of cracking in prestressed concrete demands more research to investigate the mechanism and evolution of cracking in concrete und......
This paper presents an experimental study of a three-story, full-scale precast concrete shear wall structure in which vertical reinforcing bars in the......
Splicing precast, prestressed concrete piles has historically been difficult because the attachment detail either requires preplanned considerations a......
