Abstract

Connections incorporating embedded structural steel members serving as haunches or brackets have been used for many years in precast concrete construction. There are several aspects of embedded  steel connections that may require special consideration such as the need to minimize the formation of voids under the embedded member in column connections and the need for fireproofing for certain   applications. The objective of this paper is to present a rational analytical model and design method for precast concrete connections incorporating embedded steel members.
