Seismic effect on precast concrete structure for beam to column connection

This is an investigation of the seismic response on the precast structure due to the beam to connection behaviour. Seismic could damage the whole building if it is not properly designed, especially in high seismic region. Connection is one of the crucial elements to limit building damage. A lot of r...
