Abstract

A construction system is expected to satisfy various requirements, such as structural performance, constructability and productivity, and reduced environmental contamination. To meet these requirements, a new hybrid structural system is developed, which consists of steel beam and precast RC column. The plain steel-plate-connection is used in the joint. In this paper, it is described how much the productivity of new system is improved not only in plant but also on the work site. To investigate the structural behavior of new system, we conducted experimental study. As results of this study, it is shown that the new joints have sufficient structural strength.
