An experimental investigation of the behaviour of connections in thin precast concrete panels under earthquake loading

Investigations of connections for precast concrete panel buildings have shown that it is difficult to design an embedded connection that will perform well under earthquake loading. Some typical connections use studs or reinforcing bars embedded in the edge of the panel. These are then welded or bolt...
