Connection System Between Column and Beam for Simple House

Abstract: Precast concrete connections systems have various designs and function of each, and not all of the connections that are required to fulfill the same working criteria. The dimension of building prototype is 2 m x 2 m x 2 m, the function of connections is to unify the elements of construction�s structure to be a monolithic unity, so that can seek the stability of construction�s structure. The use of prefabricated concrete allows good quality control and fast construction method. For the manufacture of small houses this method of constructuon is very promising. The connection system of columns and upper tie beams is always simple connection. To know the reliability of this connection system, the prototype of building frame was build, and a differential settlement applied, with a deflection up to two precentage its length, the tie beam experienced cracks but the connection remained intact and the instalation time of the components are assembled into a single unit structure, is 340 minutes
