Abstract

Traditional precast reinforced concrete structures are characterised by joints of individual components executed with the use of cement grouts or mortars, or by welding reinforcement. The joints produced in this way cannot be demounted in the case of need without damaging the precast components. Demountable precast structures with a long life cycle enable repeated assembly and demounting thus contributing to the saving of the basic input resources and the environment. The main feature of demountable precast structures are patent-protected joints which allow the assembly of the precast components without the necessity of using “wet” processes. The article addresses the characteristics of a demountable girder - column joint. It presents the results of static load tests carried out within extensive experimental research. To conclude, the article specifies the benefits and the applications of demountable structures.
