Abstract

The paper is focused on the key role of the connections between precast elements in determining the seismic performance of industrial Precast Structures (PS). The work critically investigates the influence of different variables on the connection behaviour, as well as the results of the different safety assessment approaches. Referring to a case study based on an industrial PS located in Italy, one highlights the importance of the connection in the seismic upgrade of existing PS, and the minor role of the mechanical slenderness of the column when considering weak connections.
