- Abstract
- The Precast Seismic Structural Systems (PRESSS) research program was initiated as the fourth topic in the United States-Japan coordinated program on lage scale testing for seismic response. The first three topics were reinforced concrete, steel and masonry. The purpose of this coordinated research program is to develop recommendations for the seismic design of buildings constructed of precast concrete systems based on sound analytical and experimental research. This report describes the scope of the joint program and the current projects being carried out by U. S. researchers.
