Connections for precast elements
The FDB brochure 2.0
In precasting, the individual components are manufactured prior to their installation away from the site and are subsequently assembled on location for the actual loadbearing structure. The connections between precast components must be capable of transmitting the compressive, tensile and shear forces arising over the joints.
The connections between the precast components are of critical significance for the loadbearing capacity and the serviceability of precast structures. The choice of suitable means of connection, moreover, is often decisive for the economy of the structures. Bending...
