A study on the behavior of beam-column connections in precast concrete structures:
experimental analysis
This procedure is already known because it appears in [11] and it
was used to gain high control of cracking and to provide integra-
tion between the continuity bars. The details of these models are
shown in Figures 5 and 6.
