Investigation of continuity in joints between precast and "cast in place" reinforced concrete members Kratz, Rolf D.

Abstract

The investigation dealt mainly with the shear transfer capacity of a joint between a precast concrete column and a cast-in-place concrete beam. Four reinforced concrete frames, each consisting of two columns and two beams, were cast, assembled and tested in a special loading frame. To obtain a general pattern of failure mechanisms, a series of loads consisting of different ratios of moments, shears and axial forces were imposed on these frames. All recording of test data was done electronically in the form of punched tape to facilitate computer analysis. The investigation showed clearly that high values of shear transfer can be reached even under the most adverse load conditions.
