One end of the precast steel reinforced concrete beam has a plurality of first holes corresponding to the plurality of second holes. The plurality of fasteners are inserted into the plurality of first holes and the plurality of second holes such that the precast steel reinforced concrete beam is fixed to the precast column.

The present application relates to the structure of a load-bearing column and a factory using the same. The load-bearing columns comprise a first column, a second column and a third column. The first column is a reinforced concrete column and is arranged on the underground floor. The second column is a pre-fabricated reinforced concrete column on the ground floor and is fixed to the top of the first column. The third column is fixed to the top of the second column, wherein the third column comprises a steel column and a third reinforcing bar assembly which surrounds the circumference of the steel column and extends from the bottom of the steel column in an axial direction to a predetermined distance.

The present invention relates to a buckling resistant spring clad bar (BRSCB) to improve lateral confinement of compression system uniformly so as to enable it to (a). applied loads withstand both compression and tension (b). ability to withstand much higher axial compression loads (c). significant improvement in post-elastic behavior due to enhanced ductility without strength degradation. The BRSCB comprises a plurality of bar, a plurality of one-way spring in an embodiment, a plurality of grips, and a plurality of peripheral ties. The system further comprises a plurality of opposing spring in another embodiment. In the opposing spring, one of the springs is wrapped in a clockwise direction and another one in an anticlockwise direction. Both the ends of the bar are covered with the end grip to hold the assembly firmly and to avoid end slippage of the one-way/opposing spring. The multiple bars wrapped with the spring are connected together with the peripheral ties to form desired cage assembly. The cage assembly can be embedded in the concrete structure/suitable medium. Further, spring cladded bars can be housed in sleeve to improve the ductility and impact/shock resistance of the structure.
