Connection systems for braced and unbraced precast structure due to lateral loadings

The connections between precast concrete components play an important role in determining the stabilization of precast concrete framed structures. Despite numerous years of extensive research, no fully fixed design method exists. Many areas of connection behaviour still require investigation. Much o...
