“…This provided an interlocking mechanism that enabled the grout to effectively bond with the spliced bars. Meanwhile, Solak [50] employed epoxy to anchor the connections. According to the results, the ductility of the specimens with the connections was significantly lower than the monolithic specimens.…”

In recent decades, precast concrete buildings have undergone significant development, attracting considerable academic attention to their mechanical performances. Unlike cast-in-situ buildings, precast buildings are assembled on site by connecting precast components using mechanical devices or on-site casted joints, which makes the connections particularly important for overall structural performances. This study presents a comprehensive review of the mechanical performances of precast buildings, with a specific focus on various types of connections and their structural properties. This study reviews the mechanical performances of building connections using dry, wet, and/or hybrid methods between pre-manufactured components, e.g., beam–column joints, wall–panel connections, and column/wall–foundation connections. Both experimental and numerical investigations are reviewed. The paper provides a valuable reference regarding the mechanical performances of precast concrete buildings.

“…There are three methods of assembling the AHW connections in the PCSW structures: (a) splicing longitudinal rebars using sleeves or stirrups combined with high-strength mortar [7][8][9]; (b) tying together the horizontal connections using unbounded posttensioned (UPT) precast concrete wall plates [2,10,11]; (c) connecting the longitudinal rebars using bolted connections [12,13]. Several studies [1,8,11] indicate that the required mechanical properties of the AHW connections can be achieved with the assembly connection methods mentioned above by adopting effective construction measures.…”

To improve the seismic performance and seismic reliability of precast concrete shear wall (PCSW) structure with improved assembly horizontal wall connections (AHW connections), base isolation technology was proposed to be applied in the PCSW structure. Two 1/4-scaled structure models using the improved AHW connections were constructed: a lead-rubber bearing (LRB) base-isolated PCSW structure model and a base-fixed PCSW structure model. Shaking table tests were conducted on these two models with three strong ground motions to assess the seismic performance of the structures. It was found that the improved AHW connections in the base-isolated PCSW structure are useful and effective and that they fulfil the requirements to be met by the connections to withstand an earthquake. In addition, the maximum absolute acceleration and base shear force of the base-isolated PCSW structure model were less than those of the base-fixed PCSW structure model, and the isolation effect on the absolute acceleration responses and base shear responses increased with increase in the intensity of ground motions. In a word, the seismic performance and seismic reliability of PCSW structures can be effectively improved using base isolation technology. After this investigation, the seismic responses of the base-isolated PCSW structure model were numerically simulated using OpenSees software. There was a reasonable agreement between the numerically simulated results and test results; thus, the numerical simulation method and analysis model used for the base-isolated PCSW structure model were verified.

“…where l p is the equivalent plastic hinge region height which can be defined as l p � (0.20 + 0.044H/h w )h w , where h w is the cross section length. e formula of l p is generally a good estimate for RC shear walls [9].…”

“…What is more, the implementing subjects continue rise, for example, the prefabricated concrete shear wall structure system of Zhongnan Group [8]. For the prefabricated shear wall structure, the horizontal connection in the structure is the key to ensure structural integrity and seismic performance [9], and for this purpose, the authors invent a new horizontal connection [10] whose bearing capacity has been studied; however, the ductility which unbonded reinforcement can improve has not been studied.…”

Considering the effect of confined end-zone and unbonded reinforcement, the yield curvature and ultimate curvature of rabbet-unbond horizontal connection (RHC) shear wall were calculated. Based on the curvature calculation result, the yield displacement and ultimate displacement were calculated using displacement superposition, which were compared with test values. The result showed that theoretical values were slightly smaller than test values; however, on the whole, both were in good agreement. The author studied the effect of unbonded reinforcement on yield displacement and ultimate displacement, and the result showed that the effect on ultimate displacement is more pronounced than yield displacement. The present work could be useful for the design of new prefabricated shear wall.
