Cyclic behaviour of precast beam-to-column connections with low seismic detailing

The main objective of this experimental research was to understand the influence of some parameters on the response of the precast beam-to-column connections, namely: (i) friction between concrete faces; (ii) friction between concrete and neoprene pad; (iii) connection with a mechanic connector (dowels); (iv) influence of the dowel position in the column corbel; (v) axial load influence on the overall response of the connection.
