Advances in Novel Precast Concrete Structures

Bol

With the growing global demand for construction, precast concrete structures have gained prominence due to their advantages in building quality, time and labor savings, cost efficiency, and environmental friendliness. A variety of precast systems have been developed, including emulative, pretensioning, rocking, and modular systems, while integration with emerging civil engineering technologies-such as novel energy-dissipators and advanced materials (e.g., FRP, UHPC, ECC)-and alignment with modern construction concepts (e.g., building industrialization, smart/intelligent construction) further underscore their significance as an active and prosperous research area in civil engineering. It presents high-quality research on the development and study of novel precast concrete structures, focusing on state-of-the-art progress, advancements, and emerging trends. The published articles cover (but are not limited to) topics such as high-efficiency emulative precast systems; the application of high-performance concrete in precast structures; novel precast structures with energy-dissipators; precast steel-concrete composite structures; precast underground concrete structures; modular concrete structures; the static and seismic performance of prefabricated element connections; analytical and design methods for precast structures; reliability and probabilistic safety assessment of precast structures; and the long-term performance and life-cycle cost analysis of precast structures.
