Seminar/Workshop on “Precast Concrete” Architectural Planning and Structural Design 19-21 March 2008
• Connections
• Casting problem
• Lifting problem
• Installation problem
• Construction stages
Component Design
• Perform component – detailed analysis and checks
during:
– Casting
– Lifting
– Stacking
– Transporting
– Final position (before living)
– Permanent load
• Design of all structural components:
– Code-based design checks
– Stress checks
– Crack width checks
– Both precast and non-precast, if any
Component Design
• Design of connections:
– Type and material considerations
– For safety
– For system integrity
– Constructability
– Long-term performance
– Cost
– Possible problems and solutions
• Connection types:
– Frame – slab (both precast)
– Frame (cast-in place) – slab (precast )
– Wall - wall (both precast)
– Wall - slab (both precast)
– Footing (cast-in place) – column (precast)
Component Design
• Design of foundation:
– From structural point of view
– From geotechnical point of view
– Foundation movement sensitivity analysis
• Special requirements:
– Fire safety
– Durability
– Resistance to chemical loads
Considerations on
Connections
Considerations
Considerations
• Resistance
– Connections must resist the forces to which it will
be subjected during its lifetime
• Dead load
• Live load
• Wind
• Earthquake
• Soil or water pressure
• Volume changes caused by temperature change, creep
and shrinkage of concrete
• Resistance
– The connection resistance can be categorized by
types of force:
• Compression
• Tension
• Flexure
• Shear
• Torsion
• Ductility
– Ability to accommodate relatively large
deformations without failure.
– Usually measured by the amount of deformation
that occurs between first yield and ultimate failure.
– Usually associated with moment resistance.
Flexural tension is normally resisted by steel
components.
– First yield occurs in steel component, and final
failure may be from rupture of steel, crushing of
concrete or a failure of the connection of the steel
to the concrete.
• Durability
– Usually exhibited by corrosion of exposed steel
elements or by cracking and spalling of concrete.
– Steel connection elements should be adequately
covered by concrete or should be painted.
• Fire Resistance
– If the slabs or tees rest on elastomeric pads of
bearings, protection of bearing pads against fire is not
generally needed because deterioration of bearing
pads or bearings will not cause collapse. After a fire,
bearing pads could be replaced.
– An exposed steel bracket supporting a beam may be
weakened enough by a fire to cause the beam to
collapse.
– Connections which require a fire resistance rating will
usually have exposed steel elements encased in
concrete.
