| Abstract: |
This paper introduces solutions for the application of precast concrete in bridge engineering, in which the precast elements, e.g. precast slabs, beams, and columns are connected together monolithic behaviour to achieve integrity in transferring the forces and bending moments at joints. In details, it presents the outcome of the research results for the connections between precast columns and slabs, precast beam column connection, and precast column-foundations pocket connections. In all cases, experimental/analytical investigations are carried out and the results are presented here. The results of this research introduce rational design models using strut and tie method for such complicated load path at this joint. Practical examples this application are presented. |
