Abstract
Structural and technological solutions for prefabricated-monolithic systems in East Asia
Incoming article date: 13.08.2022The article presents the development trends of prefabricated-monolithic frame systems (PMFS) in the countries of East Asia, mainly China and Japan. The presented PMFS have different features in comparison with technologies used in European countries and the USA, which are dictated by several factors: geographical features, high population density and uneven distribution in the territory, the continuing need accelerate of construction rates. Based on the analysis results of open information sources there were singled out 4 bearing framework formation systems , actively used by the large construction companies. The presented systems combine structural and technological solutions of modular, hybrid and prefabricated-monolithic construction. The use of bearing structures joints which makes it possible to erect buildings with a high class seismic resistance at a significant number of storeys is considered in detail. In the conclusion, the main features of the Asian PMFS, which have no analogues among the other systems, have been summarized. The results obtained can be used as basis for further larger and more effective development of the civil prefabricated-monolithic buildings.
