Research on seismic behavior of prefabricated building joints in China

Abstract

The rapid development of China’s construction industrialization process has led to increased research into prefabricated building structures. In comparison to cast-in-place construction, prefabricated buildings offer many advantages. Increasingly important has been research on prefabricated building joints’ seismic performance. A prefabricated beam, slab, column, and wall’s connection affects its seismic performance, and each joint has different characteristics. In light of this, this paper analyzed the seismic performance of prefabricated joints based on their development and application.
