Development and systematic review of connection techniques for RC Precast structural elements: Beam and Column Connection
Abstract
Precast reinforcement concrete (RC) structures have attracted increasing attention in the global construction industry. They offer advantages such as reduced construction time, improved quality, and sustainability. However, their seismic performance and construction pose unique challenges. This study comprehensively reviewed and systematically analyzed the nodal connection techniques of RC precast structures. Using a data-driven approach combining quantitative and qualitative analyses, relevant literature was collected from the Web of Science database based on specific search criteria. Historical and recent trends in the scientific landscape were visualized, and citation networks were analyzed. In addition, the study reviewed different types of beam-column connections, which is a significant research focus. The results indicate that although various types of nodal connections demonstrate good seismic performance in experiments, they still face challenges of complexity and long-term maintenance in actual construction.
