Abstract

The present work proposes design models and recommendations for column-foundation connection through socket with rough interfaces, including the shear key configuration, the socket and the precast column base. In the experimental investigations, the behavior of socket and column as a monolithic connection was verified. However, for this to occur, the shear key dimensions must be between the limits suggested by the study. Considering the total transfer of internal forces in the connections, the vertical reinforcement should be designed based on the bending theory. The proposed model for the design of the transverse horizontal reinforcement, considering monolithic behavior of the connection, was found to be in good agreement with the observed experimental results. With adjustments to this model for the socket, a new model for the design of precast column bases is proposed and compared with other model adapted for rough interfaces.
