Dowel Type Precast Connection- Experimental and Analytical Study of Beam and Column

Abstract

The objective of a present work is to compare an experimental and analytical study on precast frame. A precast frame development includes the whole structural components being manufactured off-site. Connection is the crucial part in precast frame because it influences the performance of structural behavior. There are various connections in the beam -column, out of which grout connection are chosen in this study. A scale model is created for the identified critical bay. A precast frame are constructed and tested under loading condition. The parameters considered for the present study are Ultimate Load Carrying Capacity, Cracking Pattern and Failure Mode, Load Displacement behavior and Energy Dissipation Capacity. The analytical study of the precast frame which are done by ANSYS software. After analyzing a frame in Ansys, both experimental and analytical works are compared in this paper.
