Tensile Performance of Prefabricated Tank Walls Connected Using Ultrahigh‐Performance Concrete
Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Prefabricated tank structures are a widely used form of industrialized construction, yet the behavior of connections between precast segments remains insufficiently explored. Since the mechanical properties of these connections govern the structural performance of prefabricated tanks, this study introduces a novel joint detail employing cast‐in‐place ...
