An Experimental Study on Structural Performance of Vertical Joints in 3-Dimensional Precast Concrete Structures |
| Abstract |
The object of this study is to evaluate the structural peformance of vertical joints on the DWS system of highrise apartment housings.Variables were shear key shape, width, clearance, angle and joint steel. 28 precast concrete large vertical joint spectimens were tested to investigate the effects of these variables. Test results show that:1. The larger shear key width, the larger shear strength2. The closer clearance of shear key, the larger shear strength |
