Abstract
Experimental results of new precast concrete beam-column connections constructed by post-tensioning precast beams to precast columns using unbonded tendons are presented. The connections consist of precast beams which has steel cap at its ends and precast columns which has steel band at the connection region. The steel cap and steel band are used to reduce damage in the plastic hinge region of precast beams. Four test specimens were subjected to reversed cyclic loading and comparisons were made between the behavior of presented precast concrete specimens and conventional precast concrete specimen.
