Experimental Investigation of a Plastic Hinge Relocation Concept Using Enlarged Cross-Sections for Precast RC Beam–Column Connections
Plastic hinge relocation can reduce damage within reinforced concrete beam–column connections by shifting inelastic deformations away from the connection region. This study experimentally investigates a relocation concept for precast reinforced concrete assemblies based on enlarged beam cross-sections. Four 1:3.5-scale...
