Assessing the Seismic Performance of Exterior Precast Concrete Joints with Ultra-High-Performance Fiber-Reinforced Concrete
Abstract This study was conducted to evaluate the seismic performance of an exterior precast concrete (PC) beam–column joint with ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC). Currently, 45 MPa non-shrinkage mortar is used as grouting for the connection between PC beams and columns. In...

| description | Abstract This study was conducted to evaluate the seismic performance of an exterior precast concrete (PC) beam–column joint with ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC). Currently, 45 MPa non-shrinkage mortar is used as grouting for the connection between PC beams and columns. In this study, PC joint specimens were designed using 45 MPa non-shrinkage mortar and 120 MPa UHPFRC as a grouting agent for connecting PC members. The shear reinforcement effect of UHPFRC was confirmed to reduce shear cracks in the joint core; this trend was similar in the specimens with reduced shear rebars. The maximum moment of the test specimen with the corbel was slightly increased, but there was no significant difference, and the failure pattern also showed similar results to the specimen without the corbel. In the test specimen to which the U-shaped beam was applied, the attachment surface of ultra-high-performance concrete and normal concrete were separated, and a large decrease in strength was observed. Considering workability, U-shaped beam do not seem to have any major merits in general, such as increased strength and difficulty in manufacturing, and it was judged that it was effective to separate the PC beams from the column face through corbels. Shear reinforcement through UHPFRC is effective in relieving congestion by reducing shear reinforcement bars at the joint, and it is judged that it can be used as PC joint grouting due to its excellent fluidity. |
