Deformation and strength of grouted sleeve connectors in pre‐fabricated concrete structures: Mechanisms and analytical modeling

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Grouted sleeve connectors (GSCs) are widely used in precast/prefabricated concrete structures. To ensure force transfer, connectors are often overdesigned in length. This practice has an unintended consequence of reducing the plastic deformation capacity of the connection region and hence the displacement ductility of the precast structure as ...

Flexural behavior of precast prestressed slabs with embedded building service systems

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Dry‐assembled precast concrete construction is rapidly spreading in many parts of the world due to the several advantages offered by industrialized construction. In order to speed up not only the assemblage of the structure, but also the full integrated building process, engineering systems (mechanical–electrical–plumbing) may be prefabricated

Strong ground motion and structural damage in the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes: A comparative case study of numerical predictions and field observations

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract On February 6, 2023, southeastern Türkiye was struck by two catastrophic earthquakes (Mw: 7.7 and Mw: 7.6) along the East Anatolian Fault Zone, causing extensive structural failures and significant loss of life. This study evaluates the seismotectonic characteristics of the sequence, analyzes strong ground motion data against the Turkish ...

A novel seismic connector for precast concrete shear walls

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract A critical aspect of the seismic performance of precast concrete walls is the deformation capacity of their connections, which can be limited by premature bar fracture, reinforcement buckling, or cyclic instability. This paper introduces and experimentally validates a new ultra‐ductile connector (UltraDC) that provides reliable force transfer ...

Alignment of Agile and Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) Principles in Systems Engineering

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Organizations have consistently sought faster and more efficient methods for producing and delivering products. Agile principles offer essential guidance for shaping their policies and practices. The Agile Manifesto (AM) outlines 12 core principles for guiding software development but can also be applied in other contexts.
