Abstract
Precast building has attracted more and more interest of both researchers and engineers due to fast constructional speed and lower labour cost. In the past, the precast structure was generally used in the superstructure, such as load bearing frame, however, it is seldom applied in the substructure such as foundation. The paper thus proposed a type of pile-cap connection to fabricate the foundation of a substation. A series of tests on the prefabricated pile-cap connection using these connections were carried out under seismic loading. The failure mode and lateral load versus lateral displacement response of the tested specimens were experimentally investigated. The seismic behaviour of the precast foundation was compared with the behaviour of the corresponding cast-in-place foundation.
