Abstract
The results of a set of experimental tests concerning the cyclic behaviour of prefabricated column-tofoundation connections is presented. The tests allow to compare the response of cast-in-place connections against pocket foundation and grouted sleeve solutions. The results demonstrate that grouted sleeves ensure a ductility similar to the one of cast in situ column-foundation connections and of pocket foundations, although a slightly smaller dissipation capacity is observed. It is found that in grouted sleeves connections the damage is localized at the column base, in the thin grout layer existing between the prefabricated column and the foundation. As a result, very little damage may be observed in the column, allowing an easier post-seismic column repair.
