Seismic Performance of Precast Concrete Columns with Improved U-type Reinforcement Ferrule Connections

Abstract This paper proposes a new kind of U-type reinforcement ferrule (URF) connection for the assembly of precast concrete (PC) components, which has a good fault-tolerance ability and low cost of construction with a simple post-grouting process. The modified connection features welded U ferrules...
