| description | Abstract The reliable joint connection between precast members is vital to resisting earthquake loads in precast concrete structures. To further improve the convenience of precast construction, this paper presents a new horizontal joint of precast concrete panels with castellated keys supports pillar connections based on the stable mechanical properties of the wet concrete joint. To examine the seismic response of this connection type, a series of in-plane cyclic loading tests were carried out using six full-size precast specimens and one cast-in-place specimen for comparison. The influences of axial compression ratio, joint width, and joint concrete strength on the seismic indicators of the precast concrete panel were considered in the design of specimens. The test results showed all specimens had the same damage process, and the ultimate failure modes combined compression and bending. The precast specimens exhibited similar seismic performance to the cast-in-place specimen, especially whose joint concrete strength is higher than the precast concrete panel. Based on the load–displacement test curve, a hysteretic curve model that included both the envelope curve and the stiffness degradation law was proposed. The predictions from the model showed good compatibility with the experimental results, and the model can be used as a reference for analyzing the elastic–plastic response of the precast concrete panels with castellated keys supporting pillar connections. |
