An experimental work has been conducted in the laboratory to investigate the behavior of several precast concrete beam-tocolumn connections prepared to achieve the constructability aspect of structures. The study was performed on interior connect ion specimens as part of a system of moment-resisting frame, and the emphasis was put on their response behavior to cyclic loading. By observing the deformation of the structure, as was recorded via transducers and strain-gauges attached to it, an overview of the connection's behavior characteristics was obtained. The overall performance of the connection could be determined by comparing its parameters with that of an equal monolithic connection.
