(57) The disclosed apparatus, systems and methods re­late to reinforced concrete moment-resisting buildings with pre­cast beams, precast columns, and replaceable buckling restrained reinforcements. Modular channels and pins or boxes are pro­vided that allow for the replacement and repair of the precast moment-resisting beams and columns. Replaceable buckling re­strained reinforcements are used to attach the beams and columns via embedded reinforcements and couplers.
