Experimental study on internal precast beam–column ultra-high-performance concrete connection and shear capacity of its joint

Precast reinforced concrete structures are increasingly being studied and adopted for their potential advantages. In this study, we tested five precast beam–column connections whose regular shape beams and columns were connected with lap-spliced steel bars in ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC). A monolithic beam–column connection as a control specimen was also tested under reverse cyclic loading. The results showed that the application of...
