PROJECTS

 

PRECAST STRUCTURES EC8    

Full designation:

PRECAST STRUCTURES EC8 - Seismic Behaviour of Precast Concrete Structures with Respect to Eurocode 8.

 

Objectives:

The Project has two distinct parts: one experimental and the other analytical. Several seismic tests on typical European precast structures will be performed by the participating experimental facilities, both on full structures and joints (beam-column and column-foundation). The results from the tests will be used to calibrate the analytical models. Afterwards, the data from the models is going to be statistical analysed in order to evaluate the Eurocode 8 prescriptions, namely the behaviour factor.

 

Start date - Duration:

1 de Fevereiro de 2003 - 36 Meses
