Abstract
To be used for the joint between precast elements made of UHPFRC, a connection system inspired on those for steel structures, based on either high strength screws or bolts, is proposed and analyzed. This process may speed the work units and increase the control. As different failure modes may be expected depending on the connection parameters (screw diameter, cover...), those failure modes are characterized and specific tests set ups are designed and carried out to evaluate the variables effect on the UHPFRC joints behavior. The study variables were the elements dimensions, the diameter of the screws, the thickness of the elements to be connected and the process to prepare the hole. The connection behavior has been analyzed by means of the shear-out, cleavage, net-tension or bearing failure, studying the parameters that affect the load-displacement diagram.
