- Abstract
- Structural evaluation tests were performed on prototype steel insert connectors proposed for joining floor and wall panels of a precast concrete housing system included in Operation Breakthrough. Descriptions are given of 25 tests conducted with 5 different types of connectors. Specimen connections were laboratory tested under simulated design loading conditions to evaluate their load capacity and ductility.
