Seismic behavior of precast reinforced concrete column-to-foundation grouted duct connections
The paper shows the results of an experimental campaign aimed at investigating the cyclic behavior of a column-to-foundation joint for precast concrete elements. The tested connection is realized adopting corrugated steel ducts embedded into the foundation, in which column protruding rebars are anchored by grouting high performance mortar. The experimental program consists in testing six full-scale reinforced concrete square-section columns subject to quasi-static cyclic lateral load with a constant axial compression. A preliminary series of bond tests was carried out to define some experimental variables, i.e., longitudinal rebar diameter and anchorage length. Results of the precast joints are compared with those of two reference cast-in-place specimens with the same geometric characteristics, showing similar hysteretic behavior, energy dissipation and ductility values. Lastly, the plastic hinge height is computed for all the specimens based on experimental concrete strains, and compared to current codes formulations.
