• Unbonded post-tensioned precast concrete (UPC)
low damage
negligible residual drift
re-centering capacity
• Use of UPC elements for the first time- Priestly and Tao (1993)
based on research carried out as a part of PRESSS coordination project
to tie precast components into building frame
reduced stiffness degradation and pinching

• Downside: no energy dissipation
• Solution: use of energy dissipators
• Hybrid system1: Self-centering + Energy dissipation

• Prohibit the use of PT Bars
• Permits the use of PT Strand
• Continuous columns, single bay beam
• Friction induced by PT—responsible to transfer vertical shears for both
gravity and lateral loading
• Limits drift angle for DBE and MCE

For walls
ACI ITG-5
• For ≥ 0.5
• For walls with openings:
load path should not be disturbed
Influence of opening on shear and flexural strength should be considered
• Test module

• Design method for both force based and displacement based
• Permits 50% higher drift limit for serviceability LS in UPC
(no such provision for ultimate LS)
• For hybrid system: moment contribution ratio (λ) dictates self-centering
and energy dissipating capability
Self-centering
Energy dissipation

… NZS 3101:2006
• Moment-rotation: iterative procedure using member compatibility and
section equilibrium
• Provision for equivalent viscous damping
Two ways
1. Using flag shaped hysteresis rule (considering moment contribution from
PT tendon and ED
2. Interpolating between lower bound (unbonded connection-5%) and upper
bound (monolithic frame)

• System displacement incompatibility
1. Beam elongation
2. Floor-lateral load resisting system incompatibility
• refer ACI T1.1-011 for acceptance criteria for development and adoption
of alternative jointed solution
• PRESSS Design Handbook2 – by working group of NZCS
