Experimental Study On shear Capacity of P.C Vertical Joints

P.C 수직접합부의 전단내력에 대한 실험연구

In Precast Concrete Structure, safety of structure depends on strength of joint. Asa result, there exists a necessity to review the effects of elements consisting joints, since these elements are important factors for evalaution of joint strength. However, there elements are different for construction methods and may be changed even during construction. Obviously, the change of elements can cause the change of joint strength; yet, the effects of the variables are not clearly defined. The behavior of the joints are complicated and evaluated only through experiments. Consequently, the main objective of this paper is to review effects of components consisting Precast Joints, I order to keep higher joint strength than specified in the design code.
