A dry process connected energy-consuming beam column joint based on a corbel includes a prefabricated concrete corbel column, pre-buried steel plates and connecting steel plates, wherein the corbel section of the prefabricated concrete corbel column is stepped, and a notch section of a prefabricated concrete notch beam is matched with the stepped section of the corbel and is in lap joint to the stepped section; the pre-buried steel plates are separately pre-buried on the upper and lower surfaces of the corbel and the prefabricated concrete notch beam, friction plates are arranged outside the pre-buried steel plates, and slight tooth spaces are arranged on the sides, facing the pre-buried steel plates, of the friction plates; and the connecting steel plates are arranged on the left and right sides of the prefabricated concrete notch beam and the corbel lap joint section.

Precast Building Construction System A building construction system uses precast concrete panels (10) interconnected in an array to provide both floor and ceiling of a multi-unit building. Each panel has a reinforced precast concrete slab having an upper surface (12) and downstands (18, 20) providing a continuous enclosure beneath the floor surface. Grooved voids (44, 58) are preformed into the upper and lower surface of the downstands for receiving connectors (54, 56, 57 or 60, 62, 66 and 50, 52) for connecting adjacent panels. Preformed recesses (19) are provided at the edges of the panel for connecting the panels together and creating grouted shear keys (59).

A connector for joining concrete structures such as double tee beams to one another. The connector includes a curved bolt that is formed with a shape memory alloy. Through utilization of the bolt, a joint can be post-tensioned following assembly through application of heat to the joint. Post-tensioning can be reapplied following loosening of the joint through application of heat. When considering a super elastic shape memory alloy, the bolt can be a smart bolt that can self-correct following deformation due to excessive load.

A self-bracing, two-way moment frame precast system for industrial support structure and method of erecting a precast industrial support structure without temporary or permanent bracing or shoring are disclosed. This is accomplished by utilizing a moment frame element in two directions to create free standing tower that requires no bracing during erection or in service. The system also utilizes a connection that allows the erection crane to achieve alignment during erection such that the entire system can be erected by a ground based personnel.

A method is provided for securing external wall insulation (EWI) panels to the outer walls of a high rise building of large panel construction. The method involves first identifying the location of internal voids in outermost floor/ceiling panels of the building; and then creating continuous passages through the outer load-bearing wall panels of the building into the located internal voids, with each such passage forming a tie bar anchorage hole extending into the adjacent floor/ceiling panel. Down the length of each tie bar anchorage hole is inserted a tie bar that has, at an inner end portion, an anchorage, and at an outer end portion, an externally screw-threaded portion that projects from the outer load-bearing wall panel. A pattress plate is located at the outer end of each anchorage hole, with the externally screw-threaded outer end portion of each tie bar extending through the associated pattress plate.

A structure enables free and reasonable designing of a cross section of an end of a steel beam in accordance with bending stress and a housed state of a PC steel, thereby providing an economic and reasonable building as a whole. A beam end block includes end plates and an anchor plate. The end plates are fixed at an end surface of an H-section steel in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the beam. The anchor plate is fixed to the H-section steel separately from the end plates, on a side opposite to a column, in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the beam. An end of the steel beam has an upper part and a lower part. The upper part protrudes toward the column more than the lower part and is mounted on a cogging. The beam end block has a height dimension larger than the height dimension of the H-section steel and has a lower end that is disposed at substantially the same height as a lower end of a side surface of the cogging facing the lower part of the end of the steel beam.
