“…The academic community has been highly concerned on codes and standards adapted for the safe design and structural reliability (Cavaco et al, 2018). Emphases have been given to comparing the structural and material performance between precast concrete members and the conventional on-site cast concrete, such as serviceability in terms of deflection and crack development (Park et al, 2017), joint connection analysis between precast concrete members (Sung, Hung et al 2017). The joint connection between precast members (Nzabonimpa et al, 2017, Raghavan andThiagu, 2017) has been one of the main research topics in precast concrete.…”

Off-site construction has become an emerging research domain in the recent decade. Through a holistic review approach incorporating scientometric analysis and follow-up in-depth qualitative analysis, this study contributes to the body of knowledge in off-site construction by summarizing the latest research keywords and main research topics. This study also identifies the current gaps in research and practice, as well as proposing future research directions in this research area. Off-site construction is a domain that can be extended to cross-disciplinary research from the perspectives of engineering, management, and technology. Existing research have been focusing on many research disciplines, such as structural behaviors and joint connections of prefabricated components, scheduling and planning of off-site activities, as well as performance evaluation of off-site construction. However, further research is needed in integrating the emerging digital construction technology, integrated project delivery method, lean construction, and the issues of sustainability of off-site construction. There are already limited studies linking off-site construction to the concept of Design for Manufacturing and Assembly. Future research should also adopt a larger database and allow for comprehensive evaluation of off-site construction performance.

Prefabricated construction is attracting increasing interest in recent years, since this construction method has various advantages as compared to the cast-in-situ construction method, such as less construction time, higher quality control and reduced environmental impact. As a typical type of prefabricated structures, precast segmental column (PSC) has been used as the substructure to accelerate the construction speed of bridges. This paper reviews the performances of the PSCs under seismic loadings. In particular, the seismic performances of the PSC itself under cyclic loading and real earthquake ground motions, the seismic behaviours of PSC-supported bridge structures, and the responses of precast rocking column (PRC)-supported bridges, are comprehensively reviewed and their pros and cons are discussed. For the completeness of the paper, the performances of the PSCs under multiple dynamic hazards, namely impact and blast loadings here are also briefly summarized at the end of this paper.

“…To speed up the construction process, several researchers used shear keys (steel/concrete) at the segmental joints as alignment guidelines during column assembly, as shown in Figure 3(d). (Arai et al, 2000;Billington and Yoon, 2004;Billington et al, 1999;Megally et al, 2002a;Hung, et al, 2017;Megally et al, 2002a;Kim et al, 2010;Kim et al, 2008). As Accelerated bridge construction (ABC) provides an opportunity for the use of different materials, various advanced materials have been used at the bottom part of the precast concrete bridge columns, as shown in Figure 3(f).…”

“…At 5% drift, the loading of specimens in references (Ou et al, 2010;Wang et al, 2008) was stopped due to the failure of the ED system. The columns with shear keys and precast small modular, are able to carry out large drift up to 7% with stable lateral resistance (Hung et al, 2017;Sung et al, 2017).…”

“…However, this system has much lower ED capacity compared to the emulative precast RC system (Ou et al, 2010;Piras, et al, 2022). Therefore, many ED devices (i.e., internal ED devices (Hung et al, 2017;Jia et al, 2020;Ou et al, 2010) and external ED devices (Chou and Chen, 2005;Marriotte et al, 2009;Zhang et al, 2022) have been proposed in the literature to increase the ED capacity of this system. In addition, to improve the lateral performance of such types of piers, the application of advanced materials (i.e.…”

The aim of this paper is to make a comprehensive evaluation of existing works on precast bridge piers, considering several aspects including construction techniques, structural systems, and seismic response. The general classification of the construction techniques refers to five different construction systems, which can be fully precast (post-tensioned system, pre-tensioned system, non-prestressed system) or partially precast techniques (post-tensioned system, non-prestressed system). The details of columns, column-footing connection, and column-beam connection are carefully studied to provide a unified classification of the existing construction techniques. According to the available experimental research, the failure modes and seismic resisting mechanisms of the classified construction techniques are fully addressed. In the light of a new proposed mechanical model, the seismic response of 50 experimentally tested precast bridge piers (covering the five construction techniques) is evaluated to ensure the required resiliency under anticipated seismic hazards. The evaluation of the seismic response of the studied systems indicated that the fully precast post-tensioned system is a promising construction technique, which can ensure the resilience performance of bridge piers. Finally, performance levels of the five construction systems were extracted in view of the possibility to realize robust, redundant, and recoverable structure systems that can be a motivation for application in the construction of modern sustainable cities.
