Comparing Repaired and Undamaged Specimens Test Results of Post-Tensioned Beam to Column Connections

Creators

Description

Since, it is essential to provide homeless people by the
earthquake with safe, habitable accommodation repairing medium
and slight levels of damage at the connection parts should be
undertaken. In order to prove that a repaired connection was
sufficiently strong, a precast beam to column post tensioned
connection was tested in three phases. In phase one, the middle level
damage was observed at 6% drift at these connections. As a result of
the extra loads applied, little damage was observed. In the last phase,
the four connections tested in the first phase were repaired using
epoxy resin and then retested. The results from the tests on the
repaired precast and the undamaged specimens showed that the
repaired specimens were sufficiently strong, thus proving that repair
to damaged precast beam to column post tensioned connections can
be undertaken.
