Abstract
Pure precast beam-column systems incorporate unbonded reinforced at the critical sections, causing strain incompatibility between steel and concrete. As a result, classical section analysis method, well know for characterising monolithic concrete members, cannot be directly applicable to these systems. This paper provides a section analysis method suitable for precast members, incorporating, through an analogy with equivalent cast-in-place solution named “monolithic beam analogy”, an additional condition on the member global displacement. The proposed method was first validated with the experimental data from tests on beam-column Hybrid subassemblages. Using appropriate hysteresis rules and the response envelopes defined by the section analysis method, a prediction of the behaviour of the PRESSS test building was carried out. Satisfactory agreements obtained between the analytical and experimental results confirm the validity of the suggested methodology. Derivation of the method and experimental validation are herein presented.Keywords
