Abstract
Construction with large precast concrete panels is widely adopted throughout the world. However, in seismic regions, such structures are often viewed with suspicion because of the serious problems posed by the traditional jointing procedures. A solution to these problems is proposed in the form of friction joints devised to dissipate energy during severe seismic excitations. By locating these connections in the vertical joint lines only, permanent deformations and damage can be minimized.Nonlinear time-history dynamic analysis has been used to study and to demonstrate how a building can be "tuned" so as to obtain optimum seismic response. The proposed joints act, in effect, both as safety valves and structural dampers.
