Over the life of a building, the expected cost of maintenance and post-disaster repair can exceed initial building costs—making an economic case for investing up front in resilient construction. Although concrete is cost competitive when making initial decisions about building materials, the overall ...

The engineering applications of the above-mentioned precast joints are restricted, owing to the influence of factors, such as the post-pouring of concrete and the use of a complex joint structure [8,14,17,20,23–27]. Therefore, it is of practical significance to develop an assembly system ...
When cyclic loading is caused for example by earthquakes, concrete degradation due to cracking eventually results in cumulative damage (low-cycle fatigue damage) to the structural RC components and leads to a state in which repair becomes necessary. One serious consequence of concrete degradation ...
