description To reduce the impact of poor field connection on structural safety in prefabricated concrete structures, a new kind of prefabricated reinforced concrete structure—an FTPC (fault-tolerant prefabricated concrete) structure based on the fault-tolerant design concept—was proposed and studied in this paper. The horizontal load-bearing units of an FTPC structure are fully prefabricated or semi-prefabricated slabs. The vertical load-bearing units are formed by four types of prefabricated cantilever components. Prefabricated cantilever components are horizontally connected by welded connection and vertically connected by a specific connection method using steel tubes and cast-in-place concrete. A mathematical sampling method can be used to select several welded connection nodes as disconnected nodes to consider the actual weld quality. Enveloping design can be carried out to obtain the final design results of each cantilever component, which can realize the fault-tolerant design and better ensure the structure safety. Finite element analysis was carried out for a two-story villa as an example to verify the feasibility and rationality of an FTPC structure. Study results show that an FTPC structure can meet the requirements of safety and applicability. Moreover, it has the advantages of a flexible arrangement of load-bearing components, a clear force transmission mechanism, and a moderate component volume.
