EK197
Shear transfer by bond between precast and in-situ elements is possible when the shear stress is low.
EK192
Although the mortar, grout or fine concrete is in a highly confined state under predominantly plane stress conditions and should achieve compressive strength higher than fcd, a low design strength […]
EK191
Cementatious materials such as in-situ mortar, fine concrete or grouting are often used in the joints between load bearing elements. The nominal thickness is about 10 to 30 mm for […]
EK188
The combined shortening effect due to creep, shrinkage and temperature reductions induces tensile stresses in the precast components. The stresses must be accounted for in the connection design by either […]
EK185
When the precast unit is designed with the entire load acting directly on it, the vertical shear in the joints need not be considered as there will be zero shear […]
EK181
In general, the horizontal forces are transferred between precast units by a combination of shear friction, aggregate interlocking, dowel action and mechanical welding. To resist these forces, it is necessary […]
